counter With ice. On the 29th Of March, 1854,
the steamship City of Glasgow sailed from Liver
pool for Philadelphia, with more than four hun
dred souls on board, and has never been heard Of.
She, too is believed to have been destroyed by ice,
for in that year there more vessels that re-
ported ice than had ever been known before. Ice
is the great enemy which ships propelled by steam
have to fear, and no form of construction seems
to afford security. The President without
compartments, the Pacific was partially provided
with bukheads, While the City of Glasgow was
perfectly divided by water-tiyht bulkhcads.
