Seven Days Afoat on Saginaw Bay

Seven Days AfiOat on Saginaw Bay.
Most of our readers are probably
aware that the propeller T. S. Fax
ton has been adrift on the route
between Bay City and Tawas, and
that fears were entertained as to
the safety of the craft and those
on board. The citizens of Alpena
took considerable interest in re-
gard to the boat, knowing that one
and probably more of our citizens
were on board the unfortunate boat.
1t was thought at one time that sew
eral Alpenians were on board, but it
was subsequently learned that
there was but one, and that was
Deputy Sheriff Van Voorhees,. At
different times during the week
that the boat was out, reports were
circulated that she was seen from
various points, none of which prov
ed to be correct, except that she
was about twelve miles off Sebe-
waing. The Paxton finally brought
up at Tawas on Thursday night
last, and Mr.. Van Voorhees, took
the stage from that place for his
home in this city, arriving here on
Saturday evening. We interview
ed our Deputy Sheriff, and give
our readers the following as relat-
ed by Mr.. Van voorhees,, to our
reporter:
We left port at Bay City, on
Thursday, the 1lth, at $3.50 p. m,
encounted considerable ice all the
time, but were making fair Roadway,
till about 1880 o'clock, when we
struck an ice field, from which we
were unable to free ourselves. Here
we remained for six days, almost
stationary, the large neld of ice
all about us holding the boat firm,
and drifting by times first one way
and then another, in accordance
with the direction and velocity of
the wind. On the sixth day open
water was discovered about forty
rods distant, when all hands, pas
sengers and all. turned out and cut
a channel far enough 80 that the
boat was able to work through to
open water. While we were cut
ting the craft out of the ice, four
men, Capt. VIM. Gordon, Capt.
Henry Vosburg, Lorin Vosburg and
Lyman Barclay, with small boat,
came out from Sebewaing, on the
ice, and after a perilous journey of
about twelve miles over the broken
and partly floating mass of ice,
during which time they were more
than once neck deep in the water,
finally succeeded in reaching the
Paxton, where they received a
hearty welcome by all on board.
of refreshments, they
1T once set out on their return over
he dangerous and treacherous ice
or the shore, taking with them
Jhas. Vosburg, of Bay City, and
Chas. Dase, of East Tawas, the
after having OH his person $1,000
n money,with which to pay his crew
If lumbermen. These men also car
led various messages from the
passengers on board to be sent or
delivered to friends ashore. After
he party had set out on the re-
urn trip, the Paxton steamed up
nd moved about five miles to the
westward where she anchored to
he ice until the following day
bout one o'clock, when she steam
d up again and headed for Tawas. I
after encountering heavy fields of
loating ice, we struck open water
'etween the Charity Islands and
'oint Lookout. To say that all ,
N board felt relief when we sail
d from the ice into the clear blue
7ater would be putting it very
ight. We were all in good spirits

their own manufacture. We uu-
derstand that the heaviest casting
ever done in Alpena, took place at
Warren e. Macdonald's foundry
the weight of the casting being
a little over 2,40O pounds. Year
ny year our enterprising city is
increasing her manufacturing and
agricultural facilities, and year by
year the citizens have to depend less
upon other places for eatables and
manufactured goods.
