SUFFERING ON AN ISLAND.
MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 10.-The 800 inhab-

land in Lake Michigan narrowly escaped
destruction last night. On the lake shore
OF the island ice is piled 10 feet high. On
the opposite side huge snow drifts are
piled one after another. A fearful gale
ragged on the lake last night, and waves
began washing the icy bars. The
people were aroused by the flood, and
many narrowly escaped death in
trying to cross the ice to the mainland
This ice was found broken, and they had
to return. They were thoroughly drenched
by wading through slush, ice and water
knee deep. When it was found that es-
cape was cut of they repaired to the
second stories of the larger houses. The
night was one of horror, and the suffer-
ings of the poor people were excruciating,
as the mercury was IS below zero. The
gale subsidized by daylight, and the angry
waters receded. Many of the people were
almost crazed by fear and their terrible
sutferings. 1t was almost a miracle that
no one was lost.
