A SEA OF ICE.


Tho Startling Experaence OF the steamer
frsmona.
MosTREAI. May 81.
The steamer Fremona, from Newcastle,
which has arrived at Montreal, had q very
startling experience with the Ice about $50
miles on the other side Of Cape Ray. The
vessel was stcaming slowly through adense
fog On Wednesday last when she got right
in the midst Of pack OF lee which was
drifting southwark with the Arctic cur
rent. After the steamer had been pound
ing about in the Ice for some hours the
fog lifted and showed the vessel 20
be In dangerous position. All around
her were heavy hummocks of ice, ten feet
deep In the water, aud showing about .
foot above the surface. Gradually nearing
the steamer and crushing the smaller
pieces Of ice in their way we're number
of huge icebergs. The captain and chief
officer climbed to the masthead and found
that the ice extended ON all sides rs far as
the eye could see. There we're hundreds
of seals on the Zoe, some OF them being
close 10 the vessel. Two hours were spent
in turning the steamer, and she was then
headed southward and worked out OF the
hoe. Owing 10 the move of snch big
mass Of Ice southwark II is feared that nay-
igation will be- seriously interfered with.
