a situation which veteran mariners said
had not been witnessed here in many
years.
Traffic through the inner !larbor was

with steamships and other craft. were
caught in the jam off the Battery. the
lower end OF the city. and against wind,
tide and ice they were able to move
only the distance Of two blocks within
one hour. At some spots the ice was
twelve inches thick, and at others It
protruded SO that it resemblcd small
iceberEs.
Several steamships loaded with sugar
