The fishing tug John Logie arrived at Sarnia at three o'clock Thursday afternoon down bound from Goderich. She carried the body of a drowned sailor picked up ten miles southwest of Goderich. The body was incased (sic) in a lifebelt bearing the name of the steamer John A. McGean. Engineer Longe of the tug discovered the body floating in the water. Captain Logie lowered a boat and brought the corpse aboard. When the tug arrived at Sarnia, Coroner Dr. MacDonald was summoned and the body removed to Phillips undertaking rooms.

A thorough search of the man's clothing failed to reveal a single scrap by which he could be identified. In his pants pockets were found a key ring and keys, a knife, two handkerchiefs and other small articles. He was dressed in blue serge trousers, good shoes and shirt and his collar had evidently been washed away. He appeared to be about 55 years of age and wore a gold signet ring bearing the initials "T. M." His hair was grey and the forehead almost bald. He wore a rough coat, and grease was visible on his hands. It is thought the man was the engineer of the McGean as he was not warmly dressed as one of the forward crew would be.

Coroner MacDonald has decided that he will not hold an inquest, as it is not necessary. He will wire the owners of the ill fated vessel to take charge of the body. Capt. Logie in command of the tug said that he passed masses of wreckage several miles off Kincardine
