Bay city, Mich, Sends Out Her An.
mual Scary Story.
BAY CITY, Mich, March ga heavy
wind from the south has started the ice
out of the Saginaw bay from what is
called the Big Crack, and with it went
fully $50 fishermen who occupied shan
ties on the ice.
Unless they can make shore on either
side of the bay. they will be obliged to
remain on the ice until the wind gets
back to the north and blows the ice back
into place.
As high winds prevail, however, it is
believed that all the fishermen will reach
shore with their shanties, each of which
is on runners. Some of the fishermen are
supplied with boats for use in cases of
emergency such as this.
