The Schooner John +. Randall
Breaks Potomac River Record.
The largest cargo of ice which has ever
come up the Potomac River on a single
boat is about to be landed at the wharf
at the foot of Ninth Street. The four
masted schooner John F. Randall, is lying
there, having arrived yesterday from the
icefields at Booth Bay Harbor, Maine, with
a load of 2,610 tons. The schooner left
Boothbay Harbor on the 14th instant and
on the voyage was under the charge of
Capt. f. II. Crocker.
Captain Crocker stated yesterday after
noon that the boat passed into Chesapeake
Bay four days ago, and that great difficulty
was experienced on the trip from there
The schooner was taken in tow in the
bay by the new tug Sara, OF the Weems
Line and as she draws twenty-one feet
of water and the river channel at many
places is as shallow as seventeen feet. it
can easily be seen that the trip was a
difficult one
The unloading of the ice will commence
tomorrow. and will continue all week
