 The channel in the narrows near Quinnipiac drawbridge froze pretty solid yesterday and when the small power boats went down to buck against it. they found that it was by far too tough a proposition and up to 4 D. m. no boats from up-river had been able to effect passage But be- low the bridge, the oyster boats could go out at will The flats were com pletely covered with ice. It was one of the lowest tides in long time at about 4.S0 D. m, and large number of men dug over the clam banks in Quinnipiac river while down on the harbor banks others availed of the op- portunity to get basket of the bi- valves. Clamming on such day as yesterday was pretty cold work, and the clammers had to keep pretty busy to keep from freezing.
