blowing lightly from the south began TO
increase IN violence and sooR had devel-
oped into a gale. At $50 a great move
ment of the ice was noticed, and num-
Der of the older and more experienced
fishermen abandoned the shauties and
started for the shore. The ice soon
broke up into huge floats and these with
their liking freight were
sent Rapidly Out to Sea-
For three long hours Mr.. Burnette and
fourteen companions were driven about
on a foe of ice entirely at the mercy OF
the wind. They then stopped for half
an hour. during which time the wind
changed TO the west, and they began 70
move toward the shore. By this time
the wind was blowing a perfect hurrl-
cane and the men were all crowded into
one large shanty, the only one left stand
ing on the ice, where they remained un-

at from twenty 70 fifty. Steamers viii
