week Monday night while skating from
their residence at the Point TO st. Alhans
Bay village after the mail. They left |
home at about hali-past seven o'clock,
and when they had not returned at 1880 /
considerable alarm was felt, as there had |
been more than time enough TO skate the
six miles Of the whole trip. Searching /
parties we're out all night, but II was not |
until next morning that their two bodiee |

horse over the same route only the day
before, bat since that time the wind had
opened up the ice, and in the darkness Of
the night they failed to note their
danger.
