Coming to Michigan
After some time we were informed that we could not leave that day, and, it was thought, not that week, in consequence of the lake being filled with ice. Learning this, we determined to rent rooms on shore and to board together, which resolution we succeeded in putting in effect after some difficulty.
Day after day we awaited the time of our departure, but the ice still prevented our progress. At last, however, we learned of the determination of the captain to go through the ice, as he had made a wager of five hundred dollars that he could go through. Preparing for our departure, we had but little trouble in once more boarding the boat.
