ICE FAILS TO HALT VESSELS.
Only Those in Tributaries of the
Potomac Are Tied Up.

Ice in the river docks here is not heavy
enough to interfere in any way with the
movement of vessels. While the cold
weather has affected the river but little.
reports received from tributaries of the
Potomac state that ice varies from u
quarter to half an inch. and vessels lying
in the creeks will have to remain in
them unless their hulls are well protect
ed, as the thin ice cuts wooden hulis
badly. Even should the weather become
very cold and there be thick ice, the
rivermen say the season is SO far ad-
vanced that the freeze would be of very
short duration.
