RESCUED FROM DEATH
ON THE GREAT LAKES
Sault Ste. Marie, Dec. 19.—After 1
being marooned for five days
barren Lissard Isle in Lake Superior,
with the temperature ever banging
well below the aero mark and appar
ently without food, twenty-three of
the twenty-seven missing persons from
the Ill-fated tog, Reliance, have been
rescued by the tugs Gray and Favorite,
according to a meager wireless dhK
patch received here yesterday after
noon from the Gray.
Fate of the four remaining mfestag
persons was not revealed In the. cryp
tic dispatch flashed by the Gray*
wireless. Search for them' Is Ming
continued. Those rescued Include
Capt. D. A. Williams, master of the
Reliance, Capt. John McPherson of Che
Booth Fisheries. A passenger
craft still is missing. The message
mentioned bo other name*.
Hope of finding Any of the hissing
persons alive virtually wYs^i^ai^Whed
earlier in the day wWen : Ufe'Gray
reported the finding of SNVo Mattered
lifeboats from the Reliance. * It is now
assumed the boats were washed away
the Island after the marooned
en had landed.
The hardships suffered by the band
during their five days’ imprisonment
it is believed here, become new
history of the lakes. When they left
sinking tug none of the men had
I. fuel or firearms. The isle on
which they landed Is Practically bar-
and nninhiblted. It is believed
are a feW nuts, however, lert
by Indians and trappers in past sea-
It probably will be late today
before the tugs Can return to this port
with the rescued because of the Ice 1

only one of those cases where “they
say” things without knowing any
thing about them and the men will
have to run the town just the same
they have been doing for these
many years.
