with w. II. Shields and William Nc
Cauley, lighthouse keepers on squaw
Island, and the bodies of Mrs. Shields
and her niece. Mrs. Mary Davis. They
were picked up Saturday afternoon In
the lake where they were found dashed
to IN overturned yawl. They had been
thus exposed since Friday when they
were capsized by a squall while sailing
from the island to the mainland. Luz
Glen Morden, Of Montague, Mich, was
also an occupant Of the boat when 1t
cnpsized and was drowned before he
could be lashed to the overturned craft.
The two rescued men arc badly fro-
zen and ltis thought they may have to
suffer amputation of their lower limbs.
They were taken to the hospital here
where the. following story OF the terri
BILE experience was told by Mr.. Shields:
Upon receiving orders 10 close the
lighthouse for the season we prepared
20 leave the island. together with our
helpers, Lucien Morden, of Montague,
Mrs. Shlelds and Mrs. Mary Davis, my
wlfe's niece. We left the island on
Friday for the mainland, seventy miles
distant, bound for Harbor Springs.
When out only short time, q heavy
wind struck the sail Of our. boat. cap,
sizing It and throwing us all Into the
lake.
We all succeeded. after much
hard work. in reaching the boat. Nc
Cauley and I lashed both the women to
the boat and then ourselves. Morden.
the helper, had In the meantime become
del!rious and refused to be lashed or to
attempt TO save himself, and soon after
fell off the boat and was lost. My wife
and her niece, McCauley and myself,
lashed and cllnging to the boat, were
tossed about and suffered terribly from
the cold and seas which washed over
us. -. 4ff
About seven hours after. the accident
happened my wife succumbcd. being
unable to longer endure the terrible
conditions which the exposure to winds
and seas caused. Mrs. Davis, after
holding up for several hours, after my
wife's death, also succumbed, and only
McCauley and myself remained alive,
with the two dead women lashed by our
sides, floating around the lakes with no
human being in sight.
At one time we were within short
distance Of the mainland and would
soon have been washed on the beach.
when TO our dlsmay and horror, the
wind changed and we gradually drifted
out into the lake again. Fortunately.
however, as 1t proved, we were taken
by the wind into the north passage,
which Is often, taken by boats coming
up the lake. In this manner we passed
Friday night, suffering terribly from
cold and hunger until Saturday at l p.
m, when we succeeded In attracting the
attention of the lookout OF the steamer
Manhattan. Although the weather was
very rough the captain Of the steamer
after much manocuvering. succeeded In
