Ahoat on Ice Floes.

BAY CRY, Mich. Feb. 3.-Through
tho cracking Of the Ice at Saginaw bay
to-day 200 fishermen have been carried
out toward Lake Huron.
About o o'clock Monday night the wind
which had been blowing lightly from the
south, began to increase In violence and
soon had developed Into gale. At $3.50
q great movement OF the Ice was noticed,
and tho older and more experienced fish
ermen abandoned the shanties and started
for tho shore.
The ice soon broke up into huge foes and
these with their living freight were sent
rapidly out to sea. For three long hours
Mr.. Burnett and fourteen companions were
driven about on foe OF leo entirely at
tho mercy OF tho wind. They then stopped
sor half an ho.r, during which time the
wind changed to tho west and they began
to move toward the shore. BY this time
tho wind was blowing n perfect hurricane
and the men were all crowded into one
large shanty, the only ono left standing
on the ice, where they remained until
morning. They then started for shore in
tho direction OF Big Creek, whcre they
found forty shanties which had been To-
Gated closer the shore, and escaped tho
general destruction Of the night before.
No lives were lost and all the fishermen
accounted for. There were many thrill
ing escapes, men falling between cracks Ct
ice, but all were rescued without loss OF
life.
