when 1t reached between two and three hundred
thousand dollars. A correct estimate, however
cannot be formed yet. The flood is the greatest
ever known in the town. and the highest point
reached was at least IL inches above the height
attained.in 1857. which, until last night, was the
highest. In 1866 flood also occurred, but it
was Of miner Importance compared with the 9TH

NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE GORGE.
The base of the ice gorge rests upon Penny
shoals, narrow bar which makes up from tile
bay III triangular shape into the mouth of the
river. The main channel runs under the Har-
ford shore. Originally false channel bent away
to the Cecil shore, but across the head of this
the Government sank canal boats loaded with
stone to form breakwater and throw the cur
rent into the main channel Falling against this
the ice began to back up and extend itself into and
across the whole river. This is about two miles
below Harve de Grace. Backward and back
ward the jam heightened, spreading from shore
to shore, under the railroad bridge, around Wat
sons Island, up past this town and encircllng
Spencers, Carr 8, Sreel's and Snake Islands,
while Wood island ID entirely submerged. The
GORGE Is ABOUT SEVEN MILES LONG,
and although not much piled up, except at the
upper extremity OF Watson's island is very
rough and crested with the finely powdered ice
giving it much the appearance Of deep pine
forest bending under heavy SNOW when looked
at from above. At Havre de Grace the ice is
piled up on the wharyee, and some of the build
ings nearest the shore and lumber piles are
somewhat damaged, but not seriously. On the
Cecil shore it lis jammed close up against the
rocks, breaking down the trsstling OF the Port
Deposit Brarch X. n. and submerging the track
where LAID upon the rocks. For three or
four miles the tracks impossible
and communication id cut off except by the
county roads. Telegraphic communication,
however, is still maintained by branch office
on the hill
THE BEsr VIEW OF THE GORGE
is from the hills, looking down from which the
full extent of the destruction in Port Deposit
may be seen, and the whole length of the gorge
scanned The views are grandly picturesque,
but have not time to describe them.
Superintendent Kenney Jas. L. Smith, Su-
peryisor of Bridges E. NJ. Fuller, Supervisor
of Tracks, and l. N. Mills, of the Delaware r.
r., were all down at the scene of the disaster,
to day, looking after the interests of the rail-
road. Several Whining tonians were also pres
