here for several days on account of the ex-
ten i've ice fields, once more began to move
to-day, when the large fleet of tugs aided
by the warm, southerly breeze released
their tows, and proceeded north over the
shoals. Much of the ice in the outer har-
Dor which has been broken by the tugs has
drifted into Vineyard sound, where several
vessels are still frozen in solid, and when
the ice in the inner harbor begins to move
