SUPERlOK'S BLEAK SHORE.


Lake at Sea.
The accident to the steamer Missoula
tends to show more clearly than any
thing that has occurred the vast area
of Lake Superior, and the possibility Of
vessels crew reaching land after
shipwreck, and yet being unheard Of
for a couple of weeks after starting on
voyage, says the Detroit Free Press.
The shores of Michigan. Wisconsin and
Minnesota on the big lake are traversed
by railways and telegraph lines, and
the towns and small settlements on the
American side of the lake, even to the
islands, furnish ready means OF commu-
nication with the larger cities. but not
so on that part OF the Canadian shore
north Of the lakes, where wilderness
inhabited by a few fishermen and In
dams exists. This is especially true OF
the Canadian shore just above Sault Ste.
Marie. and for long stretch Of country
to the north and east of the point where
the Canadian Pacific Railway turns in
to the shore of the lake and traverses 1t
on toward Port Arthur and Fort Will
liam.
When the Missoula broke her shaft
and was rendered helpless, she was less
than twenty-five miles from Caribou
island, on the course down toward Sault
Ste. Marie. She was somewhat on the
regular course of vessels bound down
~f 7 ol>D 4
she had been able to make any Roadway
toward the Sault, or care for herself at
all on the course she was following.
she would have been picked up very
soon after the accident by some passing
vessel. But southerly wind drifted her
out OF the course of even the few vessels
trading to Canadian ports at the head
OF the lakes. and she was working over
toward the widest part of the Canadian
north shore territory when her crew
were compelled to abandon her.
A glance at the chart will show that
Brule point, where the crew of the Mis-
soula first made land. is scarcely more
than seventy-five miles from Sault Ste.
Marie. where $4,000, 900 tons of freight
passes through a canal in q single sea-
son. and yet the men in one Of the Mis-
soula's yawl boats spent nearly two
days working along the shore Of the
lake before they found any more sign
OF life than deserted fisherman's
shanty. in which they built fire and
dried their wet clothing. The fishing
season had closed, but even fishermen
are scarce in this territory during the
most active periods. It is not strange,
therefore, that the men from the Mis-
soula were nearly full week in finding
means OF communicating with the own
ers Of the vessel after they had landed
on the dreary north shore Of Lake Su-
perior.
