NOTE FROM DEAD

Message Received in Bottle
From IS. Kamloops

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, Jan. % w
A veritable note from the dead to-
day threw the first ray of light on
the wreck of the kamloops-one Of
the mysteries Of the lakes.
The Kamloops, with her crew of
81, was lost in a storm that swept
the lakes Dec. 6, 1927 and no clue
ever was found as to the fate of her
crew or the manner and place OF her
sinking.
Last month, just about a year after
the tragedy, a trapper found a note
signed Alice" in bottle at the
mouth OF the Agawa river. indicat-
ing the ship foundered on the rock
Of Isle Royale and that the writer
was the sole survivor and was dying
Of cold and starvation.
Louis Coutu, the trapper, after
guarding the contents of the note for
some time, turned it over to Captain
H. J. Brian, a brother of the skip
rer OF the lost ship, who made a
search of the Isle Royale shore line.
He reported finding wreckage piled
high on the beach and a case that
had contained candy, broken open.
He expressed the belief that some
members OF the crew had reached
shore and had died. The Canada
steamship lines. owners Of the KAN
loops, dispatched an expedition to
the island but reported nothing was
/ found to support Il claim that any OF
the crew had reached shore.

the Rev. Henry Bilkert, missionary

MORALLY wounded.
The escape of Crane and his son,
John, was credited today chiefly to
the skill of their Arab chauffeurs
who turned the two automobiles IN
which the party was riding and sped
toward Zubair.
Biikert was accompanying the
Crane party to Koweit, IS miles from
Basrah. Crane had asked him to
join the party in its travels through
Turkey and Russia because of the
missionary's extensive knowledge OF
the Near East.

drove full speed toward Zubair.
