sheer 400 feet from the blue waters OF
the greaf lake. Included in the location
was a reef OF rock, unnamed. and near

Canadian mining company held the
ground for quarter OF a century. but

Detroit corporation. which began a

Fortunately its agent. one Thomas
Macfarlane. possessed the Scotch thor

The little island was but seveuty-five
feet long by sixty In width. rising but
a few feet above the water on q calm
day and entirely submerged by the
long swe1s from the east in stormy
weather. Most men would have ignored
1t, for the islet was nearly q mile from
the mainland and the most unproRis-

was perhaps the first white man TO ever
set foot on that speck OF solid ground
encircled by the deep waters OF the
lake, plainly defined vein carving
