ALIVE AFTER DREADFUL
EYpEPTENCE

EAPEhlENCE
Alfred Peterson, the French River,
Minn., fisherman, who drifted across
Lake Superior on January 22nd,
when the weather was 81 degrees be-
low zero, and who lost his wife in
the dreadful ordeal, was in the city
yesterday afternoon with his little
daughter, on their way to Port Wing
to look up the Samuelson family and
to extend thanks for saving the life
of Mr.. Peterson.
It will be rememberd that at the
time the Times carried an account
of the story. In telling about it
again yesterday Mr.. Peterson said
he and his wife had gone out in
II foot flat bottom skiff to raise some
fishing nets on the afternoon of
January 21st. He said they had just
succeeded in raising part Of the
net when heavy storm came sweep
ing down from the northwest, and
so strong was the wind they were
unable to reach shore.
Throughout the night and the next
day they continued to drift across
the lake and at three o'clock in the
afternoon of Jan. 22nd they reached
"a flow of ice on the Port Wing side
of the lake. Mr.. Peterson said
there was an open space Of water
between the ice in which their boat
was fast and the shore ice which pre-
vented them from reaching the shore.
For hours they continued to walk
along this drift ice trying to find a
a bridge over which they could cross,
when Mrs. Peterson became exhaust
ed and returned to the oat, where
she died in the arms Of Mr.. Peterson
Mr.. Peterson said the boat was
partly filled with water which froze
around their bodies and at times he
was compelled to break the ice which,
had formed around his wife with
an ore. He said Mrs. Peterson was
able to get out of the boat after ar
irving on the Port Wing side, but
after time beca.ne exhausted and
finally succumbed.
At about seven o'clock at night he
found ice of sufficient thickness to
bear his weight and when he located
shore he returned to the place where
the boat was with the intention of
bringing the body of his wife to land,
but the space of water had widened
again and he was unable to effect a
crossing.
Again he returned to shore and
found his way to the home of the
Samuelsin's. His feet were frozen
as were his hands and he was unable
to speak. The Samuelson family did
everything they could for the man
and he was taken to the hospital at
Duluth where he remained for three
months receiving treatment. Due
to the work done by the Samulesons
when he arrived at their home saw
ed the hands and feet of Mr.. Peter
son as we'll as his life. He is just
now able to be around again.
The body of Mrs. Peterson was dis
covered on the shore of Lake Super
ior near Grand Marias, Minn., on
April 26th.
Mr.. Peterson, while still suffering
from the effects of the experience,
is able to be around again, and this
is the first opportunity he has mad
to go to Port Wing to thank the
people for saving his life.

WAHBURN BOY WINS
TEN MILE RACE IN EAST
Defeats a Strong Field, Making
the Ten Miles in 2 hours, "a
minutes and 80 seconds.

| LIE 1OllOWAHS SAppAhB tahCH 6kOuA
Delaware paper will be interesting
to Washburn people. The Thomas
E. Blake, mentioned in the article,
is no other than the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mike Aspel, former Washburn
residents. He is now lad twenty
years of age.
| Thomas E. Blake, of the Los An
geles A. c., one mile free style cham
pion of the Pacific Coast and holder
Of several Western records, defeated
the pick of the country's long dis
tance swimmers when he won the
senior national ten mile champion
ship, held on the Delaware River,
from Race Street Wharf to Riverton,
yesterday afternoon.
Blake, who is the latest protege Of
Fred Cady, formerly Meadowbrook
Athletic Club coach and well known
locally, finished the long grind in 2
hours "a minutes and 80 seconds, and
finished fully 900 yards ahead Of his
nearest opponent.
Fast Start
Blake started out as though he
would shatter Bolden's record time
all to pieces, but after he put the
five-mile mark behind, it was very
evident that the heavy wind, result
| ing rollers, and unexpected changing
of the tide would prevent his even,
coming near to the old mark.
Blake shot into the lead as soon
as the field began to widen out, and
at the first mile led by hundred
yards over Heating, who in turn had
fifteen yards on Leyand. Kiffee was
in fourth place, ahout ten yards,
with the rest Of the field strung out
behind.
Speedy First Mile
The Western stars time for the
first mile was Is minutes 35 seconds.
This, in spite of the fact that in
leaving the wharf he collided with
another swimmer, the latter coming
down on Blake's head and severely
wrenching his neck. Blake continu
ed to swim on as though nothing had
happened, however, = and gradually
worked away the pain.
At the second mile, Blake had dou-
bled his lead with Heating still Sc
cond, and the rest of the field prac-
tically unchanged. His time on the
second mile was fourteen minutes
fiat.
On the third mile Blake turned in
the fastest intermediate time Of the
day. He turned the distance in 1885
at the same time increasing his lead
to 600 yards.
At the five-mile mark Blake was
fully a half mile in the front Of the
field. Heating, Leavand and Kiffe
followed in the order named.
On the seventh mile Keating be-
gan to quicken his stroke and start
ed to pull up slightly on Blake. The
Western paddler, hitting sixty-three
strokes to the minute throughout the
race, and leading by about eight
hundred yards on the sixth mile, was
cut down over hundred yards.
For the last three miles of the race,
Blake swan easily away, keeping the
same strobe, but not putting as much
force in his pull. Heating kept
shortening the distance between him
self and the leader, but was unable
to came anywhere near Blake. At
the finish, Blake crossed the line amid
the toots of all the motor craft near
the scene and the loud cheering OF
several Thousand people assembled
on the wharf of the Riverton Yacht
Club.
