Had Been MarOOned
 on Lizard Isle
Of 27 Missing From Tug Re liance g Have Been Res cued-Fate of Four Un- known.

Sault Ste Marie, Mich. Dec. 1S.-Aft- CT being marooned for five dave on the barren LizZardy Isle in Lake Superior, with the temperature everhanging we'll below the zero mark and apparently without food, g of the 27 missing per sons from, the ill-fated tug Reliance have been rescued by the tugs Gray and Fa- vorite, according to a meagre wireless despatch received here this afternoon from the Gray.
 Fate of the remaining four was not revealed in the cryptic despatch and search for them is being continued. Those rescued include Captain D. A. Williams master of the Reliance.
 Hope of finding any of the missing alive virtually was abandoned here earlier in the day when the Gray re ported the finding of two battered life boats from the Reliance. It now is as stunned. the boats were washed away from the island after the marooncd men had landed.
 When they left the sinking tug none of the men had food, fuel or firearms. The isle on which they landed is bar ren and uninhabfted. It is believed there are a few huts, however, left by the Indians and trappers.
 It nrohahly viIl he late tomorrow be fore the tugs reach this port with the rescued, because of the ice in Lake Su- perior. Physicians and medical sup plies, together with food and fuel, were taken aboard the rescue tugs before they started to fight their way through the ice foes to the wreck scene.
 The wrecking of the Reliance, was the choice of fate. After lying to in shelt- cred cove for three days in the hope of riding out the storm that was sweep ing the lake Captain Williams found his supplies of food and fuel almost ex- hausted. The mariners elected to tempt fate and breast the blizzard rather thar chance death from starvation. Four hours after an anchor had beer
 hoisted the Reliance was dashed agains the rocks and her wheel disabled. Int craft filled rapidly. Just before th' ! wireless was put out of commission thu | operator flashed a single call for help. l was this call, received here, that insti gated one of the most thrilling rescue at tempts in the history of the lakes. 1 All those on board took to the life l boats as the tug began to settla beneath 1 Seven Of the 36 aboard reached Safet. ] Saturday night. after battle agains the waves and a 16-mile trek over white wilderness.
