ROB U.S. MINT TRUCK OF $200,000 LIVE SHIPS FIGHT BATTLE FOR WINTER PORT: Many Lives Lost and Much Property Threatened in Lakes Shipping FOR BUFFALO BOUND Try to Keep Waterways Open Until Dec. 15 Because of Coal Shortage (By the Associated Press.) Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Dee. 18.—Twenty-three of the 27 per- sons who have been missing since the tug Reliance struck on the rocks off Lizard island last Wednesday have been saved ac- cording to reports from the tug Gray, which reached the wreck to- day. SaaeSTE i Chicago, Dec, 18.—Battling foot by foot through towering seas and free- zing spray, the men who go down to the sca in ships are fighting .an epochal battle across the icy wastes of Lake Superior to keep navigation open far beyond its usual time and! bring down the lakes the last cargo of the year, Already the fight has claimed its toll of lives, and before the last ship has been accoufited for—or been giv- en up for lost—the toll may be great- er. Nearly a dozen died a few days ago when a Canadian steamer was dashed to pieces within a stones throw of safety at the mouth of the Portage lake ship canal. Last night twenty-seven more were added to the probable death toll | when survivors of the tug Reliance, wrecked last Wednesday on. Lizard island, reached Sault Ste. Marie after almost incredible hardships. Navigation on the upper lakes usually closed December 1, This year it was decided to keep the waterways open until December 15 because the: coal and rail strikes had cut down the coal shipped to the northwest and delayed the movement of grain east. Nine Big Freighters As a result nine big freighters loaded with grain—$28,000,000 worth of ships and cargo—were fighting their way down Lake Superior to- ward that grave yard of gallant ves- sels, White Fish Bay, trying to win through to Buffalo for winter. stor- In Mud Lake, part of St. Mary's river, another big fleet, was ice bound waiting for the arrival of the nine which left Fort William, Ont., three days ago before trying, with the assistance of ice breaking tugs, to win past detour to the open wa- ters of Lake Huron. At Eagle Harbor and Grand Mar- ais, White Fish Point and detour, Alpena, Mackinac island and Manis- tique naval radio operators were keeping a tireless vigil, guiding the freighters through the night with radio compass signals, and waiting! for the calls for help which may come. The story of the fate of the tug Reliance, owned by the Superior Paper Company of Sault Ste. Marie, was told yesterday when seven sur- vivors reached the Soo. + Dashed to Pieces Five days ago the tug with a crew of 14 and 22 passengers, was dashed to pieces on the rocks of Lizard island, 75 miles north of Point Aux- pins, the western entran¢e to St. Mary’s river and 12 miles from the mainland. The captain and 27 men took one boat and Mr. and Mrs. John Harten, cooks and seven others, took the other. The captain’s boat has not been accounted for, but the other, after drifting several hours in the storm, finally was blown ashore on the On- tario mainland, 85 miles north of uluth. 2 Mrs. Harten: was so exhausted the ty Eean Indian hut before starting the twenty-mile tramp inland to the railroad. When ‘the railroad was reached Mr. and Mrs. Harten were co ring so much from the Srabtiey were left at a station for medical treatment while the other seven survivors went on to Sault Ste. Marie. Held Little Hope They held little hope for the cap- tain and his companions. If the party succeeded in reaching Lizard island they may find huts there, but while game was plentiful they have no veapons. The scene of the wreck of the Reliance is one ofthe most desolate spots on the upper lakes. Hd; From Batchewana Bay to Michipi- coten harbor, a distance of more than 50 miles, there are not settle- ments. The only inhabitants are lonely woodsmen, trappers and In- dians. The Lizard islands are off the sain steamer route, and are seldox visited except by woodsmen and fish- ermen, or in the summer, by an oc- good things. jfurnish candy for the Christmas tree ; final settlement still is hanging fire.
