SPRING ON ROUND LAKE

A peaceful scene on Round Lake after a late spring snowfall. The lightship "Manitou" steams slowly past the "Sanford," the Beaver Island ferry, still at her winter berth.

ICE FISHING WITHOUT ICE

One winter in the late Twenties no ice formed on Round Lake, so a resourceful fisherman put his shanty on a raft, made with old timbers mounted on empty oil drums. Soon there were about a dozen rafts on the lake, some with shanties and some without. Samuel Halverson built a cabin-like shelter on his boat. It was the only boat so protected. Everyone caught perch.
