,Nuinis Through ley Wafer.
The first day after the wreck
brought the death of three i>ersons—
Capt. John McPherson, Fred Regan
and Gus Jones, who were swept over
board ns they tried to launch a life
boat. The following day, it bet*me
apparent the Reliance could not long
withstand the pounding of the high
j sea and a raft was constructed of
; barrel staves a.id a stairway torn
I from the tug.
i The storm still raged so fiercely that
j little hope of landing on the raft
| was entertained until William Gow,
1 a fireman, swam 75 yards to the
islands through the Icy water* and
1 stretched a line along which the raft
| was pulled.
Fare Dangers on lainU.
Only three persons could board the
raft at a time, and the entire day
j was required for the party to dis
l embark.
On land they still faced dangers as
great ns those on the raging waters
[of Superior. The temperature was
j below zero, there was nO shelter and
only the scantiest of food supplies.
The survivors existed for five days
on a few cans of meat, two slices of
bread each and scraps of water-soaked
rake brought from the tug. A fire in
the open and n hut constructed of
brush nfforded their only .protection
from the storm that continued during
their entire st y. on the island.
The storm abated yesterday, but
Severe cold weather continues and all
craft on the upper lakes are making
headway with great difficulty.

someone else cried, "Now. you fellows

When he was wounded and lying
beside the fence with two bullets in
his body, Cairns said he saw Peter
