lay the wreCkage Of the steamer 4. +.
Eckert. This boat was struck with
tremendous force and great chunks Of Ice
were piled upagainSt and rolled over her
guards. The pressure was too great Tor
her spars, which had been ranged to keep
her oil the shore, and she was pushed
partly out on the bank and her side
crushed In for about 90 feet.
Further down the river the Nellie Peck
was crowded on shore, and she lost her
apars and some other minor damage was
done.
This morning between Z and s o'clock
the long looked for general break up took
place, and huge masses Of Ice have been
lowing through the harbor all day, but
the damage has been remarkably small,
The most serious injury was to the Lulu
Worth, q toWboat, lying at the foot OF
Barton street. She was swept out into
the stream, and, after being tumbled and
whirled about a good deal, she was hurled
with great force against the high perpen-
diCular bank just below the arsenal, badly
battered, and sunk. The transfer boat L. Y.
Bogy, lying near OhouLen avenue, had her
larboard wheel smashed. The General
RuCker, tow-boat, was iammed upon the
bank. The transfer boat, ]. q. NJ. Mullen,
had a wheel.house stove In and Lost her
rudder. The ferryboat, Andrew Christie,
lost her rldder and had one eide OF her
upper works somewhat jammed. The
Gray Iron barge lying at CArondolet,
valued at 5000, and laden with $50 tons
ot iron ore, had her side slowed In and
sue sank. Several barges belonging 10
