A trip from this city to Thunder
Bay Island makes very pleasant ex-
cursion, if the weather is lair, and
people whose work confines them in
doors during the week, will find them
selves refreshed by making the trip.
The fresh, cool lake breeze is invigor-
ating and creates a wonderful appe-
tite. To enjoy these excursions it is
an absolute necessity that a lunch be
taken along. No pleasure can be
taken while the stomach is crying for
help. On the island there is the light
house and life saving station, and if a
person has not seen such sights, they
are worth seeing. The principal ben
eft of the trip is the fresh breeze you
get, and the good it does in taking
your mind from The cares of business.

The large fly wheel at the mill of
Butterfield q Cradle, flew to pieces
last Wednesday. No person was in
jured. The main shaft was broken.
One large piece of the fly wheel was
thrown into the upper story and land
ed ON the circular saw carriage track.
Other pieces were thrown in various
directions, and it was q wonder how
the mill men escaped injury. The
engineer had a narrow escape. He
was in the lower part of mill attend
ing to some business, and hearing the
noise occasioned by the breaking of
the shaft, started for the engine house
to stop the engine. He had just got
through the engine house door, when
the fly wheel went to pieces, and one
large piece struck the door. The
part Of the shaft to which the fly
wheel was attached, was uninjured.
A new shaft, to replace the broken
piece, is being cast at the foundry
of Warren IL Mcdonald, and anew fly
wheel has been ordered from Detroit.
The accident has caused the firm
a heavy loss, both by the breakage,
and by the enforced idleness of the
mill, it having been shut down the
past week, and it probably will not be
in running order until some time next
week.

JAMES j. FITZGERALD,
Sergt. Signal Corps,

Yesterday afternoon, about half
past one, the Alpena Guards left the
Armory and marched to the square,
where they were put through few
military movements. They then
marched to the steamboat landing
and embarked on the steamer Ke-
weenaw for Detroit, from whence they
60 by rail to the place where the an
nual State encampment is to be held.
The company was about forty strong,
and is the smallest number it has ever
sent to an encampment. The Ke-
weenaw had on board large number
of passengers and excursionists, and
before the Guards left the Armory,
they were notified that berths could
not be obtained for all Of them, but,
in place thereof, would be supplied
with cots. A large crowd assembled
on the wharf to see the Guards en-
bark. Considerable amusement was
occasioned by the endeavors of a be-
lated Guard who was trying to catch
the steamer after she had left the
wharf. One young fellow jumped
from the forward upper deck of the
Keweenaw to the wharf, in order to
prevent being carried of. Some la
dies were also aboard when the steam
er left, but were landed at lower
wharf.

Yesterday while the Metropolis was
returning from Point Lookout with a
large party of excursionists, Thos.
Caldwell, sign painter of East Sagi-
nav, engaged in wrestling match on
the cabin deck with some friend. In
the squabble Caldwell was thrown over
the guards, his head struck on the rail
of the lower deck cutting an ugly cash
in the top of his head, and he bounded
into the water. There was heavy sea,
chances for saving him looked decid-
edly scaly. The blood was running
into his eyes so that he could not see
the boat, but he kept his wits about
him and made no exertion except
such as was necessary to keep him
ahoat. All was confusion aboard the
boat, and whenever wave cut off the
view of the excursionists they con-
cluded the man was lost and the wom-
en- screamed themselves hoarse. Some
of the men talked loudly of going to
his rescue, but lacked courage to take
the plunge, and Caldwell was left to
paddle his own canoe" The piano
stool, half dozen chairs and a few
life preservers were thrown toward
the swimme but the wind carried
them away from him and the efforts
for his rescue proved a reckless ex-
travagance. One man attempted to
hoist the piano overheard but failed,
and his conduct was but a fair sample
of the confusion created on the boat.
While the passengers were thus en-
gagged the engines of the steamer
were reversed, she was stopped as
soon as possible, backed up and boat
lowered. 1t was at once manned by
L. Vosburg, A. Calvin, watchmen, j.
Sandy, wheelsman and Charley Bed
ford, second mate, who pulled quick
ly to the thoroughly exhausted man
and took him out of the water. He
was overheard just eight minutes be-
fore help reached, but when landed
on deck announced "I'm all here ex-
cept my button hole boquet." bay

Trip TO Thunder Bay Island.

"A trip to thunder bay Island on
thesteamer Golden Eagle makes q
very pleasant days recreation, pro-
vided the weather is not ruff, and, last
Sunday, a number of persons en-
braccd the opportunity to make the
trip on that boat. The Eagle passed
the lighthouse at 11:41 in the fore
noon. A fresh, cool and invigorating
breeze was blowing off the lake, max
ing the excursionists feel that they
had done a wise thing in leaving the
heated streets. In one hour the Eagle
was abreast North Point, and at five
minutes past one anchored opposite
the Thunder Bay Life Saving station.
There is not sufficient water at the
life saving station dock to allow n
boat the size Of the Golden Eagle to
land, but the life saving crew came
out with the life boat and surf boat
and ferried the passengers ashore.
The passengers were warned to be
aboard the Eagle at 3 o'clock r. M.
Excursionists .focked into the life
saving station, and were soon busily
engaged in viewing the various appa-
ratus. The various members compos-
ing the crew did everything in their
power to please the excursionists.
They pilotcd them about the build
ings, explained the uses of the NOR
tar, breeches buoy, life car and the
apparatus generally. Everything in
the building was neat, clean and in
its proper place. 1t is needless to ex-
plain the uses of the various life saw
ing apparatus, as the readers of this
paper are already familiar with them.
After viewing the life saving sta
ton the excursionists walked across
the island to the Lighthouse. Reach
ing the lighthouse, and ascending the
iron spiral stairs, the visitor was greet
ed at the top by the keeper, Capt. st.
Clair, who very kindly explained the
workings of the apparatus. The
mechanism by which the light is re-
volved, the manner in which the flash
es were made and other matters were
made plain by the keeper. From the
top of the lighthouse there is a fine
view Of the surroundings.
The sights being seen, the next
thing in order was lunch. Many,
however, had neglected this very nee
essary part of an excursion. The
lake breeze had given the excursion
lists ravishing appetites, and sitting in
the shade of the trees on the island
shore, it was something magical how
delicious the most common kinds of
eatables tasted. Those who had
lunches were happy and those who
had none were not.
AT 1923 in the afternoon the Gold
en- Eagle started for Alpena-the tug
Sigison, which was at the island the
same day with an excursion party,
leaving at the same time. For some
time the two boats kept together, but
owing to some reason or other the fire.
man ON the Eagle could not keep up
steam to the required pressure, and
the Sigison took the lead. This, OF
course, pleased the Sigison people, and
some of them commenced holding out

The steamer Keweenaw, last Fri
day, brought to this port a number Of
cattle, and the deck hands had their
usual circus in getting them into the
shed. One untamed steer did con-
siderable waltzing, and required more
than the usual escort. The usual es-
cort for steer, while being taken off
steamboat, is two deck hands, one
acting as a tug ahead, and the other
as a sort of propeller behind. The
hind deck hand grasps firmly hold Of
the tail, and when the steers runs of
his course, the deck hand takes round
turn with the tail. If the steer does
not answer the helm, both deck hands
swear. This is about the time that
the many spectators laugh. Some
times more deck hand power has to be
applied to the steer, both ahead and
astern, but, as general rule, a two
deck hand power is sufficient to pro-
pei steer.

and many lovers of the may waltz

whistle tells the citizens that the dance
will have to be postponed for one

how to make themselves agreeable
and to please their patrons and friends.
At times, when there is no dancing
going on, the cabin assumes concert
appearance-the members of the
band being good singers, and they do
not believe in hiding their lights un-

"In the Morning by the Bright Light"
