New Castle, Jan. $3.50 far as ap-
pearances go the little float of barges
lying here might be taken for desert
ed ships, for the storm and fog drove
all hands below or on shore to avoid
the inclement weather. Sailors have
the reputation of facing fearlessly all
kinds of weather, but it was noticed
that those detained here did not ex-
/ pose themselves unnecessarily yester-
day and last night, prefering their
sheltered quarters to the rain and fog.
The river has probably been more dan
gerous during the past two days than
at any other time this winter. Owing
to the fog il was impossible to see
more than a boats length. and the ice
packs are constantly moving, carried
by the wind and tide.
