Thermometer Registered A Be
low at 8 a. m. Tuesday
Cold Rest of Week.

Zero weather returned to Detroit
again at 3 a. m. Tuesday, when the
THERMOMETERS registered one below.
From then on the mercury continued
TO drop until o'clock, when four de-
grees below were chalked up. An
hour later the registration was only
below. The weather observer, Nor
man b. Conger. predicts. however, that
there will be zero weather today and
tomorrow, with little prospect OF relief
until the end of the week, and maybe
not then.
The weather today and tomorrow
will be generally fair, with light snow
and zero temperature" said Mr.. Con-
ger TO The Times. The storm which
was with US yesterday and last night
has moved out into the New England
states and has increased In energy,
giving us a lower temperature. The
lower part Of Michigan was the only
part OF the state which had zero
weather early this morning. We also
got the most snow, Ave and eight
tenths inches"
The snow storm bothered the ID. u.

.SHIvtR|NG CENTRAL
CLASSES SENT HOME
No Coal in the Bin and No
School-Dealer Is Blamed
For Lack of Supply.

Freezing weather and an empty
coal bin combined to put the Central
High school out OF business Tuesday,
and the pupils were given a holiday.
There were only a few hundred
pounds OF coal In the bins when the
janitors started to fire up Tuesday
morning, but before the rooms were
warm enough for comfort the sup
ply ran out. and there was nothing
left to do but send the scholars
home.
The shortage of coal IL blamed on
the p. Koenig Coal Co, which has
the contract to supply all the coal
required by the board Of education.
The recent cold snap has swamped
the coal men with orders, and they
have been unable to make deliveries
fast enough.

ed the California authorities on the

amount, laying the first check aside.
Taylor picked 1t up, and cashed both
checks.
Howard Claxton, of Claxton Bros.

After giving him the anchor, his
boat still dragged. A little later he
spoke to me, saying that the carpen-
ter's boat was on the beach and in
strucling me to send two men to
where he had seen a light on the

''The anchor Of the captains boat
still dragged and it gradually drew
away to the north until its light dis
appeared.
MY boats stood the weather near

waves made US decide to abandon it,
on the morning of the 21st.
"Erly the following day we set out
for the Nicaragua. We reached her
in a short time and went aboard.
At 2 o'clock the next morning the
carpenter and his men came afoot 10
to the ship from down the shore, hav-
ing also abandoned their boat.
After four days with no word
from the captain, or news Of any
ten of us set out down the island, go
ing south, because we knew the
light house vas in that direction.
We left W. men on board at their
desire, because their feet we're in
bad shape and they could not walk.
ION the shore just across from
Point Isabel, We came across a fish
erman's boat. The man. Santana
Galvan, carried US over to the main
land where they were taken in
charge by Captain Reed.
Our clothing was torn to shreds,
but we had a change OF clothing
along. For food we carried cold
boiled potatoes and old bread.
THE island seemed to be inhab-
tied by coyotes. We many times
waded through water and marshes

food above our heads. All of US are
suffering from blistered and badly
bruised feet"

treated by the cordial citizens Of
Point Isabel. and especially thanked
