Fishing Tug, Heavily Encased in Ice, Fights Blizzard, Finally Makes Port Fort Dover, Jan. 7.—The 90-foot steel fishing and towing tug "I June" arrived here this morning at five o'clock sheeted with tons of ice following a most hazardous trip and twenty hours overdae from Port Maitland, after battling a Lake Erie blizzard all yesterday afternoon and night while a sixty-mile gale raged with a twenty below zero temperature. The crew of three, Captain W. Thompson, engineer Leo Siddell and Fireman Wilfred Franklin, all of Port Maitland, were 'all worn out after their trying experience. The "Early June" left Port Maitland at nine a.m. yesterday on the usual four-hour run to Port Dover to lay up the craft for the winter. About noon a heavy gale blew up from the southeast with a blinging snowstorm. The heavy seas presently broke right over the tug and stove in the wheelhouse windows, coating the compass with ice so it became useless. The skipper managed to work the craft, into the shelter of the island and anchored, but the anchor j dragged and they drifted back into the open lake several times, driven by the tremendous seas. Early this morning the radio beacon at the Jarvis airport was sighted, and the craft finally made this port. The owner of the boat, Percy Siddell. father of the engineer, was in Port. Dover all day yesterday, anxiously waiting her arrival. He states he never saw a boat so iced up on the lakes in his his thirty-two years' experience. It is estimated the boat was down nine inches below her normal draft. The door of the wheelhouse was blocked with ice, and the skipper had to be released with fire hose throwing a stream of hot water.
