Sandusky Bay and Cedar Point 



187 



December 28, 1904, the wind having blown from the south- 

 west all night with velocity between twenty and twenty-five 

 miles an hour, the water in the bay was 4.1 feet below the zero 

 of the gauge, which represents approximately the mean lake level 

 from 1861-1895. Continuous gauge readings have not been 

 kept at Sandusky except for short periods, but men whose bus- 

 iness has been on the docks for more than twenty years said this 

 was the lowest water they could remember. The high water in 

 the northeaster of June 29, 1902, which was the highest for 

 fifteen and perhaps for twenty years, is said to have reached 

 nearly to the top of H. C. Post and Company's dock. December 

 28, 1904, I found the water seven feet, eight inches below the 

 top of this dock, so that the difi:erence was not far from seven
