COAST BLOCKED BY ICE FLoEs.
In Grip Of Most Extensive Ice EN-
baruo of Recent Years.


Boston. Feb. 1.-THE New England
coast south of Cape Cod was last
night tight in the grip of one of the
most extensive ice embargoes OF re-
cent winters. While in Boston har-
Dor the only inconvenience was
caused by floating ice, south of the
cape conditions We're far different,
Nantucket sound being almost COM
pletely closed over, while Vineyard
sound was filled with ice. Narragan-
sett bay is full of ice and shipping
there is at a standstill.
Throughout the day the weather
was cold but the temperature rose
gradually toward night. though it re-
manned too low to encourage hope of
an immediate thaw
Navigation Difficult.
New York. Feb lice foes COM
pletely filled New York harbor yester-
day, rendering the passage of vessels
in and out of the port slow and diff
cult. In the Narrows the ice pack was
so dence that even the powerful
transatlantic liners had trouble in
forcing passage. One of the serious
results of the presence of vast foes
in the lower bay during the past four
days has been the breaking and car
and can buoys in the various ship
channels. Captains of coastwise
steamers and Sandy Hook pilots have
reported number of narrow escapes
from grounding caused by the dis
placement of buoys. Capt. Sheppard
Of the light house board said that the
displacement of buoys by ice during
the week was unprecedented in the
history of the department, and that
the conditions of navigation into and
out of port are the most dangerous
that have ever existed.
Close Call for Thirty Men.
Lewes, Del, Feb. Z. - Thirty men
narrowly escaped drowning yesterday
in the icy waters of the Harbor of
Refuge at the Delaware breakwater,
and after being rescued with the
greatest difficulty by the crews of
two tugs they were forced to make
their way to shore afoot over the
heavy ice foes with which the Della
ware river and bay is blocked. The
men whose lives were imperled were
Charles Jacobs and his crew of TWEEN
ty-nine men of Philadelphia ice boat
No. 2, which made its way down the
river from Philadelphia in an effort to
make a channel for vessels icebound
at the breakwater. The iceboat col
lided with the sunken barge Santiago
A large hole was stove in her hull
! Immediately the boat began to fill
with water and the crew realized at
once that there was no chance OF
saving her. Capt. Jacobs signals OF
distress were answered by the tugs
Teaser and Boxer. The tugs expert
enced much difficulty in reaching the
rapidly sinking ice boat, their prog
ress being hampered by the heav,
cakes of ice, which g1ound against
the sides of the little vessels, render
ing their efforts extremely hazardous
They succeeded, however, iu drawing
near enough to throw line to the
sinking iceboat and one by one the
tugs.
