ICE BREAKING IN
The CHRISTIANA RIVER

As a result of the stirm ice in the
Chrstiana river is less obstructive to
navigation than it has been in the past
two weeks and tug boats pass easily up
and down the stream with apparent
ease.
The steamer Brandywine left her
berth for Philadelphia shortly after z
o'clock and had no difficulty in getting
out of the creek. Shortly after her de-
parture City Ice Boat No. 2 steamed
up the river, scattering ice in every di-
reotion. and made fast to the Whining
ton Steamboat Companys wharf, where
She took on a supply of water. The
tug Emily made her accustomed trip
to Jersey and the Taurus left for Goose
Neck Bar, below the Jetty. to take in
tow the sand barge working at that
point.
The tugs Laura B., Amanda Powell
and Jansen made their regular trips
to Carneys Point and experienced but
little difficulty in getting across the
river. The Bush and Warner Conn
Companies barges will make their reg
ular trips to Philadelphia this after
noon.
In the Christiana river today the ice
in the channel is moving to a greater
extent than it has for the past two
weeks, and as it proceeds down stream
carries a quantity of ice that has ad-
hered to the shores.
