was the intention of the promoters and
managers of the enterprise when opera
tons were begun to continue them, re-
gardless of the formation of ice. The plan
was to break such ice as might form on
the pools and holes, rake 1t off from the
water and then proceed with the seining.
1t was found, however, that this course
could not be pursued. The majority of the
pools and holes have shallow water from
eight or ten inches to two feet deep, on
either side of them for a considerable dis
tarce. 1t was shown on Thursday Of last
week, when the ice had begun forming
again and was getting quite thick, that
