FIELD OF BROKEN
ICE TIES UP THE
TRAFFIC IN HARBOR.

The ice in Staten Island sound yes
terday afternoon was SO thick that it
was almost impossible for craft OF
any kind to get through it, 1t was
caused by the northeast storm and the
warm weather. Some of the Oldest
citizens who lined the shore yesterday
afternoon, told the reporter that they
had never before seen the like of it..
From the steamboat dock, as far out
as one could see, it was nothing but
broken ice.
The Staten Island ferry slips on this
side and at Tottenvllle were filed so
that the Warren had hard time of it
and ON some of her trips just barely
got into the slip and the passengers
were compelled to walk over temper
ary bridge. All of the tugs at the
coal docks which were to have gone
out for tows, could no get away, and
were compelled to remain tied up
until the tide went out, early this
morning.
A tow Of nineteen Pennsylvania
barges in charge of the three powerful
tugs, Minnie, Berwlnd and Brinton,
was caught in the ice off Ward Point
at noon and remained there for hours
afterward. People in South Amboy
and this city lined the shore front
and watched the vain struggle to get
the boats loose. MANY thought that
the boats would be crushed, but at Z
o'clock tne big tug Stephens came
along and helped them. They docked
at the Raritan Dry Dock Company
late last night. This morning the
harbor was clear of all the ice, but it
may come back with the flood tide.
The ice in the river has broken up
and comes down with rush, filling
the bay and completely blocking the
South Amboy docks.
