THE KENT ISLAND LIGHT HOUSE,
The lighthouse at Love Point, Kent Island,
does not seem to answer very we'll On
Friday morning body of ice from the
bay drifted against the house. breaking
away three of the fender piles, and rushing
under the house, broke the northwest ice
breaker of the building, and bent another,
thus rendering the house unsafe. The
inmates Captain Joseph c. Smith and Mr..
Charles Erdman, regarding themselves in
an unsafe place, took their boat and started
ashore, As they approached the shore,
however, the drift ice came upon them and
kept them off, and they were thus compelled
to beat about from point to point in order
to effect a landing until next morning,
when they found ice hard enough to bear
them, and they walked ashore. Both Of
MIR. Erdmans hands were terribly frost
bitten, and one of Captain Smiths cars
and one heel were also badly frosted The
physicians are not yet entirely certain
whether Mr.. Erdman will not lose both of
his hands The house was still standing
