1GY BATTLES ON
' LAKE SUPERIOR
Chicago, Dec. 18. (By AasocI
ated . Press. ) Battling toot by
loot through towering eas and
freezing spray, the men who go
down to the sea in ships are fight
ing 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 lias claimed
its toll of lives and before the last
ship has been accounted for 01
been given up for lost that toll
may be greater.
Nearly a dozen died a few days
ago when a Canadian steamer way
daHbed to pieces within a stone's
throw of safety at the mouth ot
the Portage lake Ship canal.
Twenty-seven more were added
. to the probable death roll when
survivors ' of the tug Reliance,
wrecked last Wednesday on Liz
j;rd island, reached Sault Ste
Marie, after .almost incredible
hardships.
Navigation on the upper lake
usually closes December 1. This
year it was decided .to keep the
waterways open until December
i is: because the coal and -ran
strikes had cut down the coal
shipped to the northwest and de
layed the movement ot grain east.
As a result nine big freighters
loaded With grain $28,000,000
worth ot ships and- cargo are
fighting their way down Lake-Su
. jerior toward , that graveyard ot
gallant vessels,' White Fisu bay
trying to win through to Buffalo
for . winter storage.
In Mud lake, part ot the St
Mary's river, another big fleet is
icebound waiting for the arrival
, of the nine which lett Fort Wil
.liam, Ont., three days ago before
trying, with the assistance ot ice-
breaking tugs, to win past Detour
to the open water of .Lake Huron
At Kagle harbor and Grand
.Barals, White Fish point and De
tour, Alpena, Macknac island and
Manistique, naval radio operators
are keeping vigil, guiding th
freighters through the night with
'. radio compass signals, and waiting
for the calls for help which may
come.
