Coating of Frozen Spray Impedes City of New York
SHIP AND RIGGING COVERED. (By Russell Owen.) Received Sunday, 7 p.m. BAY OF WHALES, Feb. 15. Tho City of New York has made little headway in the last 24 hours, although the gale is subsiding somewhat. The greatest difficulty is from the ice which is coating the ship, as the seas roll over it. ■ The spray freezes on tho masts, yards and rigging, as well as on the decks and sides. Every man aboard has been chopping the ice away. This ice invasion is the greatest sourco of anxiety now that the winter is approaching rapidly and the gales are sure to continue intermittently. The wind has decreased to eight miles an hour here to-day. and the shifting air current might help the City of New York but at her present rate of progress, the situation is far from reassuring.
