The man, Fred Bes-\nc.huk, a Russian, went out on the ice\nopposite the harbor works one afternoon to visit some traps. While on\n(he ice, a section of it measuring about\nhalf a mile wide and throe-quarters\nof a mile in length, became dot ached\nand Beschuk was carried out to sea\nwiih tht* tide.\nHis fellow employees searched with\nlanterns throughout tho night, but no\ntrace could ho found of the man. He.\nwas then given up as lost. The temperature was ;f2 degrees below zero,\nbut fortunately there was very .little\nwind. The following afternoon, wiih\nthe return of the tide, -Bescl.uk was\nobserved coming up stream on the ice\nfloo and he was brought ashore in a\ncanoe.\nSonic time during iho night, while\nwalking around to keep himself warm,\nOeschuk had broken through the surface ice and wet both feet, which were\nfound to have been frozen. He was\nconveyed to the end of steel by dog\nsled and the Hudson's Bay Railway\ntrain, which was on Mile 170, and went\nup to Mile 214 especially to meet him.\nHe was brought to The Pas and\nthence removed to a hospital in Winnipeg for an operation. It is estimated the ice floe on which Beschuk was\ncarried off, travelled 25 miles to sea\nwith the tide and it is remarkable that\nthe following tide should returned the\nmoving ice to almost tho same place\nin the stream from which it. started.\nOld Prophecy Coming True\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdNew York Hotel Carrying Out One Of\nBellamy's Ideas\nOne of the big New York hotels announces that it is installing a radio\nreceiving set in \"every room.
