Cook County Herald [Arlington Heights IL] December 17, 1909
The "Carrie J." Launched, Leaks So Badly She Goes to Bottom

The "Carrie J.," the vessel that has been the light of "Cap" Streeter's eyes 
for many months and upon which he has put an immense amount of labor, now lies 
on the bottom of the "Tadpole" ditch at Morris, the waves flowing merrily over 
the upper deck and the fish playing hide and seek through the portholes. When 
the vessel was launched she began to leak like a sieve and in a very short 
time sank. Streeter succeeded in saving his household effects. The captain 
will raise his craft and patch her up and expects to sail to Chicago in the 
spring to invade the "deestrict of Lake Michigan."
