Boston harbOr frOZe over in January
Of 1874 and the advertised sailing Of
the Britannia. then in dock. seemed
surely to be impossible. But the mer-
chants. of Boston would not have it So
They met and voted to cut way, at
their own expense. through the ice
that the steamer might sail practically
on time. The contract for cutting the
necessary channels was given to mer-
chants engaged. like Frederick Tudor,
in the export of ice-not from the har-
Dor. Their task was to cut within
the space OF three days a channel
about ten miles long. For tools they
had the best machinery used iIi cutting
fresh water ice. and horse power was
employed The ice was from six to
twelve inches in thickness.
The Advertiser of Feb =. 1914. de-
scribed the scene: "A great many per-
sons have been attracted to our
wharves to witness the operations and
the curious spectacle of the whole har-
Dor frozen over. and the ice has been
covered with skaters, sleds and even
sleighs. Tents and booths We're erect
ed upon the ice and some parts of the
harbor bore the appearance Of Rus
sian holiday scene" On Feb. 3 the
work was done, and the Britannia.

open water. lined on either side by
thousands'of cheering spectators. made

York critics may have thought, the

ton were good friends to have.-Atlan-
