CAR FERRY RELEASED AFTER
BEING MAROONED 36 HOURS
Ice Floe Holds Big Boat In Its Grip
and Crew Of 16 Men Spends Dis
NAL Christmas.

After being marooned in the ice,
200 wards from the Detroit shore. for
more than SO hours, the Pere Mar
quette car ferry No. IA was released
at 10. o'clock Sunday morning and pro
ceeded on her way TO Windsor. She
spent the rest of the day in breaking
up the Ice In the channel with the
assistance of other boats, and at 4;3o
O'Clock Sunday afternoon pulled into
her slip. Her crew of 16 men then
hurried home to a belated Christmas
dinner. while fresh men took their
places and continued the battle with
the ice.
But for the hardihood OF two OF their
number the crew OF the car ferry
would have gone without food until
they reached shore. Saturday aller
noon Frank Mcpherson, son or capt
Mcpherson, and Wheelsman William
Ward took their lives in their hands
and ventured forth on the held Oh
floating ice and slush with only cou-
ple OF boards TO support them. They
made the trip in safety and McPher-
son went on home. Ward returning
with a quantity of provisions.
All the ferries had trouble with the
ice Christmas day. with the result thal
all trains crossing the river were late.
By Sunday evening the river was prac-
tically free of ice and the boatmen

time being.

NEW SENSATION FOR DOBBIN
Come to Think of 1t, He Would Have
Felt Funny Sitting in the
Position indicated.

The family horse, who rejoiced In
the en1inently proper equine name of
Dobbin, had earned rest by long
service, and was accordingly sent
away to the country to spend his de-
Ginning years in the broad pastures OF
farmer friend of his owner. The
distance being somewhat excessive
for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped
to his new home by rail.
Little Edna, the family four-year-old,
viewed the passing of Dobbin with UNI
feigned sorrow. She sat for a long
time gazing disconsolately out of the
window. At last, after a deep sigh,
she turned with a more cheerful ex-
preston, and said:
did old Dobbin go on the Choo-
choo cars, mammal"
"Yes, DEAR" answered her mother.
A broad grin spread over the little
girls face. II was just thinking" she
said, "how funny he must feel sitting
