A Macktnac ISLAND man was acting asa pilot for the St. Ignace mail sleigh recently, and moving a short distance ahead of it, when he went through the ice and into the water neck deep. “* Hold on there, John !" he exclaimed, without a change of countenance, “the ice is not safe here.” — Detroit Free Press.
