. BALTIMORE, Nd, February THE
prospects for relieving the situation of
the marooned inhab bitants of Holland
Island, near Tangier sound, appeared
brighter today when a wireless dispatch
from the revenue cutter Apache reported
that vessels arrival off the island. The
state steamers Gov. Thomas and Gov.
McLane were also reported to be making
good progress toward the place. All
three boats are we'll provisioned and pre-
pared to relieve any possible distress.
The Apache reported heavy ice in the
bay in the vicinity Of Holland Island and
up to noon communication had not been
established with the shore. There are
about $50 men, women and children on
Holland Island.
Three stores supply their need. and it is
calculated that as no provisions have
gone to the island for more than a month
there must be suffering among the people,
as the stores do not ordinarily carry
heavy stocks of goods.
