Nine men AND ONE WOMAN ARE
RESCUED FROM DRIFTING ICE

A youthful Put-in-Bay woman,
her husband and eight other
young men were rescued late Fri
day when they were trapped on
thin ice between Rattlesnake and
Green islands when the ice field
broke up, and the current rapidly
carried them into the open lake.
Rescued from the possible wa
terry grave We're Mr.. and Mrs. Rob
ert Lunt, Edward and Gustave
Cooper, Joe Parker, Edward Kess-
Ter, Jack Weitenbach, Harry Rein
hard, Robert Ladd, Put-in-Bay, and
Stanley Cooper, Cleveland.
William Miller, who was also on
the ice when it broke loose, man
aged to leap across the fvefoot
opening to summon help. Also
aiding in the rescue were Robert
Parker, Nick Fox, Joseph Prentice,
Stanley Wolkitcz, Walter Weise,
Postmaster Nathan Ladd and his
sons, James and John.
Mrs. Walter Lemke, wife Of the
caretaker at Rattlesnake Island,
was praised for her part in the
rescue. When the ice field broke
up at p. m., Mrs. Lemke heard
the shouts of one of the ice fisher
men and she telephoned the alarm
to Put-in-Bay.
Mrs. Lemke also notified some
other fishermen near the Rattle
snake shore and had them take the
Rattlesnake Island rescue boat tC
the stranded party. AS this boat
was being rowed toward the ice
foe, the large island-owned IRON
clad rowboat was being brought
from Put-in-Bay.
When the rescue party arrived
the stranded group was nearly a
half-mile from solid ice. Mrs.
Lunt was removed to solid ice
first, but the men remained on the
foe to help salvage the ten new
fishing shanties. The lake is 30
feet in depth at the rescue point
The heavy shanties had to be
| lifted on the iron-clad boat and
then rowed to the solid ice. 1t
took three hours before all ten
shanties could be removed to safe
ice and the ferry operations were
not completed until after dark,
Robert Ladd's motor scooter was
also rescued with the shanties.
Although the ice generally has
been regarded as poor due to the
very mild weather, many island
residents have been ice fishing in
an attempt to catch salable fish,
Islanders report this winter is the
mildest since 1882.
