Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Dec. IS
After being marooncd for five days on
the barren Blizzard Isle in Lake Su-
perior, with the temperature ever
hanging we'll below the zero mark and
apparently without food. % of the p
missing persons from the Inflated tug
Reliance have been rescued by the
tugs Gray and Favoritc. according to
meagre wireless dispatch received
here this afternoon from the Gray.
Fate of the remaining four missing
persons was not revealed in the cryp-
tic dispatch flashed by the Gray's
wireless. Search for them is being
continued. Those rescued include
Captain u. A. Williams, master of the
Reliance; Captain John Mcpherson of
the Booth Fisheries. a passenger on
the craft, still is missing. The mes
sage mentioned no other names.
Hope of finding any Of the missing
persons alive virtually was abandoned
here earlier in the day when the Gray
reported the finding of two battered
lifeboats from the Reliance. 1t now is
dSSuIItu tIC pOdtS "CiC WoSHSu away
from the island after the marooned
men had landed.
The hardships suffered by the band
during their tive-day Imprisonment
will, it is believed here, become new
history of the lakes. When they left
the sinking tug none of the men had
food, fuel or firearms. The isle on
which they landed is practically bar
rcn and uninhabited. 1t is believed
there are few huts. however. left
by Indians and trappcrs i'll past sea-
sons.
1t will be late tomorrow before the
tugs can return to this Port with the
rescued. because of the ice in Lake
Superior. Physicians and medical
supplies, together with food and fuel,
were taken aboard the rescue tugs be-
fore they started to fight their way
through the ice foes 70 the wreck
scene.
The wrccking of the Reliance. which
occurred eff the Blizzard Islands, was
the result of a gamble with fate on
the part of those aboard the tug. After
lying to in sheltered cove foe three
days in the hope OF riding out the
storm that was sweeping the lake,
Captain Williams found his supplies
Of food and fuel almost exhausted.
The lake mariners elected to tempt
fate and breast the blizzard rather
than chance death from starvation.
-Four hours after the anchor had
been hoistcd the Reliance was dashed
against the rocks and her wheel dis
ablcd. The craft filled rapidly. Just
before the wireless was put out of
commission the operator flashed a sim
gle call for help 1t WAS this call, re-
ceived here, that instigatcd one OF the
most thrilling rescue attempts in the
history of the lakes.
All those on board took to the life
boats as the tug began to settle be-
meath their feet. Seven of the sc
aboard reached safety Saturday night
after a battle against tie waves and
1G-mile trek over a wilderness. Two
others, Mr.. and Mrs. John IIarten,
cooks, were left at a wayside station
when the woman became exhausted
and had to be carried four miles
through the snowdrifts.
Tie rescue tugs had iuadc two pre-
vious attempts to reach the side If
the Reliance but were beaten back b.
the gale.
Those aboard the Reliance included
the captain, 10 members of the crew
and 90 passengers.
