on Tuesday evening" Yesterday Loren
Vesburgh, VIM. Gordon, H. B. Vesburgh
and L, Barttley. OF Bay City, reached
Sebewaing, and set out over the ice with a
Bkiff and sled to reach the steamer. They
had weary and dangerous journey of
twelve miles over the ice, breaking in eight
times on the way out, but reached the
steamer at l 80 p. m.
They found that she had been frozen in,
Int was now loosed little and not dam
ased. with eight tons of coal on board and
lenty of provisions.
On returning the four daring men
brought back with them Charles Pease
and Charles Vesburg, and on the way back
to Sebewaing they broke through twenty

haused condition.
They report the boat not damaged and
t"e persons on board in good spirits and
bound to stay by the craft and see it out.
Part of the boats cargo had been put on
the ice, and the crew and passengers were
trying to work her to open water by hand,
and il the wind does not change she will
probably get out and reach Tawas to-day.
