Little hope of landing on | the raft was entertained until Wil- liam Gow, = fireman, swam 75 ne to the islands, through the waters, and stretched a line along which the raft was pulled. It was a perilous trip, even for the 75 yards, and only three persons could board the raft at a time. The en- tire day was required for the party to disembark, On land they still faced dangers as great as those on the lake. The temperature was below zero, there was no shelter and only the scanti- est food supplies. They existed for five days on a few cans of meat, two slices of bread each and scraps of water soaked cake brought from the tug. A fire in the open ‘and a hut con- structed of brush afforded their only protection from the storm that continued during their entire stay MADE T0 AID FARM CREDIT ‘Acceptances of Six Months | .
