Good Time on Ice.

A large number Of the residents We're
skating on the smooth ice Immediately
around the island, and invited the officers
of the cutter to join them in the sport
and remain with them for dinner. The
revenue officers were somewhat cha
grined after their supposed battle against
death.
1t was s o'clock in the morning when,
after creeping through the ice for three
hours, the pilot of the Apache made out
the island in the distance For four hours
the stout little craft wriggled and pushed
through the floating ice, which at times
crunched against her sides with such
force that Capt. Carmine feared he would
be forced to abandon his mission. At
noon the rescue craft found herself in
Holland strait, about mile from shore,
pushing toward a space of open water.
She reached 1t short time after, to
find that by one of the strange freaks of
moving ice she was in sort of lake,
one-half mile from shore. She was about
to proceed, when the leadline showed
that the steamer was in ten feet of wa
ter. She draws nine feet seven inches
and needs eleven feet for a safe and
comfortable berth.
Lieut.. Boedecker, with twelve men, was
sent in the surfboat to reach the shore.
where he landed in few minutes and
was Immediately surrounded by the is
landers, who had for several hours been
watching the labors OF the Apache.
manned by a crew who worried more
about Holland Island than did the inhab-
itantS.

Gateful for Effort.

They are none the less grateful that the
Apache went to their succor and that the
state 'steamers-Governor Thomas and
Governor McLane-in their effort to carry
relief to them, struggled as far as Deals,
their nearest trading port, and all of this
comes from the fact that never before in
the memory Of this state or Of the water
men around Tangier sound has such a
freeze bottled up an island community
which does not follow agricultural pur-
suits which lays by no stores from the
land which it's members call home.
Following a twenty-four hour battle
with some of the ugliest ice that has
blocked the Chesapeake bay for years,
the revenue cutter Apache, Capt. G. c.
Carmine, shortly after noon Wednesday
reached Holland Island. There it was
found that there was little sickness and
that sufficient provisions to last a month
were on hand.

Hospitable to Visitors.

''Well, how's everything?'' asked the
lieutenant.
"Oh, we're all right" came the reply,
"but we're glad to see you"
An investigation led by Lieut.. Boz
decker showed that there were but one
OF two cases of illness and these not Of
serious nature, that there were suffi-
cient provisions to last another four
weeks, that the residents of the island
had been having a good time, and that
the greatest misfortune of the people
had been that because Of the absence of
the minister there had been no formal
religious services on the island for more
than a month. The people said that the
doctor was not missed much because
there had been no sickness.
The climax of the surprise of the rev.
enue cutter men was reached when, in
response to an offer to take away any one
who wished to go to safety, not one voice
responded. The residents declared that
the guns supposed to be. fired in an APP
peal for help had been fired at ducks. In
response to the inquiry If it was true
that they had been forced to subsist on
oysters, they replied that oysters were
the one part Of their diet that had been
lacking, since it had been impossible to
take UP any.
