Island Doctor
Rushed Over Ice
to the Hospital

PUT IN BAY, Ohio, Dec. 30.-A
perilous race with death from this
icebound little island to the main
land was to start here this after
noon.
DR.. j. l.. Sowash, physician to the
inhabitants of the Bass Island group,
suffered an acute relapse today and
plans were being made to rush him
over the ice which spans Lake Erie
between Put IN Bay and Port Clin
ton.
The physician was on the road to
recovery from severe hemorrhages
when his condition suddenly took a
turn for the worse. At a consulta-
tion between DIR. j. II. Poole and D..
w. F. Fenker, it was decided an
operation was imperative.
The race to Port Clinton is to be
made by automobile, island inhabi-
tants decided after abandoning
plans to make the trip by iceboats.
The distance is IA miles and leads
over treacherous, snow covered ice.
Due to DIR. Sowash 8 condition and
his tendency to bleed internally at
the least movement, the going will
be slow and laborious.
