broken field of hard ice extends III
miles to the north of the island. bar
ring off the island effectively from all
means Of communication with the main
land except by means of the cable.
The steamer Nantucket. which plies
back and forth between the island and
the mainland, made a futile effort to
break through the ice today. but after
battling for hours gave up the At
tempt.
Up to today the island has been re-
markably free from ice and as result
the inhabitants have not suffered as
they have in previous years when long
ice embargoes have forced the inha5i-
tants to go on short rations and kill Off
their live stock for food.
At present there is fair supply OF
provisions and coal on the island, out
should the present cold snap continue
for several days the inhabitants VIII
experience the usual inconvenience and
hardships that prevail with long con-
tinued ice embargoes.

Lives in Recent Storm.

John B. Dewyes of Half Way rock,
who came ashore here Saturday for the
first time since the storm of a week
ago. said that the gale of Feb. came
near wrecking the light keepers house
and there was time when the keepers
thought that the light itself would be
swept away by the tremendous seas
which were breaking over the lodges.
In the Is years l have been sta
toned at this light" said Mr.. Dewyes,
II have never seen anything like the
storm of last Saturday. The whole
rock seemed to tremble after the big
waves struck it and there were many
times when we were on the point of
abandoning our house at the foot Of
the light tower and seeking refuge in
the tower itself We expected that the
light tower might be swept into the
sea.
The morning following the storm we
found on the runway which goes from
the lower floor of the keepers house
into the sea a rock which would weigh
over IS tons"

Gus Trip For Him to Make"

Liverpool, Feb. 9.-Charles w. Morse
Is on his way back to New York. He
sailed on the Etruria Saturday after
noon, and will reach New York next
Saturday.
When the Campania reached here
Saturday Mr.. Morse was one Of the
first passengers to leave the ship. AS
he stepped ashore he was handed big
bundle of cablegrams. He read them
feverishly and came to a quick de-
cision.
Stepping to the other end OF the
landing stage he made inquiries about
the first return boat. He was told that
the Etruria was about to sail. In a
few minutes he had completed ar
rangements for passage. He went
aboard the EtrIria just as she was
about to cast off.
There was q narrow margin Tor &C
ton on the part of Mr. Morse between
his arrival and his departure. He APP
peared to have made up his mind to
20 back to New York as sooIl as he had
read the first cablegram he opened.
This was quite lengthy. AS he glanced
over II his face hardened 1t was APP
parent to observers that the message
was considered by him of great im-
portance.
His face bore distinct traces Of worry
when he appeared at the gangway,
down which he hurried. 1t was evil
dent that he was anxious to escape
intervlewers. He fastened in the di-
rection of the baggage room.
Asked regarding his future move
ments, Mr.. Morse showed a decided
Discrimination to talk OF his affairs or
plans. He did say. however, that he
had received cableEams from New
York. He had planned to proceed TO
the continent to look after certain bust
ness matters.
