New Castle. Jan. 1S.-The cold
weather is again driving the boats in
here, several having tied up at the
docks yesterday. While not yet as
bad as it was afweek or ten days ago,
the ice has been making fast during the
past two days and II is now feared that
II will equal its last weeks record.
The tug Sea King tied up here last
night with two barges in charge. She
was afraid to venture farther for fear
OF becoming stuck in the foe. Two
Reading steamers are also lying here.
They are the Pottsville and the Har-
lrisburg. All are loaded with coal and
bound for New England ports. An
easterly wind will bring the ice back
from the Jersey shore and again cover
the western part of the river which
has been clear for several days. City
ice boat No. has been patroling the
river here during the past few hours,
rendering assistance to any ships
which are in distress.
