SHIpWRECKEO IN MIOLAKt
FORTY PERSONS SPEND THREE
DAYS ON ROCK WITHOUT
FOOD OR sHELTER.

Fort William, Ont. Dec 12.-After
spending three days and nights onSa
rock In the middle of Lake Superior
without food and shelter from the
zero weather forty-one persons, the
survivors of the steamer Monarch,
reached Port Arthur on the tug Wha.
len. One man, James Jakes of Point
Edward, watchman, was drowned.
Most OF the survivors are more or lei
seriously frozen about the hands and
feet, but none of them are in a dan
gerous condition.
The wreck occurred at 8 O'Clock
last Thursday night. The compass
was frozen and heavy sea was run
ming, with the night very dark, when
the Monarch struck the rock. One
hour later the stern was completely
under water. Charles Fl. Elton, a
deckhand, was lowered on a line to
the rock. He made the vessel fast to
a tree and the crew came ashore on
the line hand over hand. The passen-
gers followed the crew.
On the rock no shelter could be
found except wind break, made up
of brush The survivors were without
food until Sunday. when a bag OF
-four was washed ashore from the
wreck. The lighthouse keeper made
an unsuccessful attempt to reach the
rock Jakes was drowned while at
tempting to enter the. yawl from the
steamer. Fifteen feet Of the steam
er's bow Is now out Of water and
Captain Robertson fears that the
cargo of 1,400 tons of -four and wheat
may be total~loss. It Is doubtful il
the ship itself can be saved.
