Blocked
by
Ice
Floes
Dear
Sir,
On
page
862
of
your
isaue
of
January
19th,
you
pub
lished
an
article
by
one
Barbara
Austen,
purporting
to
be
a
record
of
tome
of
her
experience
as
an
opera
singer.
In
the
course
of
the
article
she
writes
that
"During
my
ten
years
in
the
States
the
most
em
barrassing
experience
was
on
my
first
visit
to
Winnipeg."
A
tra
veller
of
souch
distinction
ought
surely
to
be
aware
that
Winnipeg
'ft
the
capital
of
Manitoba,
Cana
da,
and
is
not
in
"the
States."
Sir
proceeds
to
give
an
account
of
Iter
"most
exciting
experience"
.
.
.
.when
off
the
port
of
Prince
ilupert,
B.C
"Due
at
Prince
Rupert,
in
British
Columbia,
our
company
embarked
on
a
boat
about
the
Ofy
of
a
Channel
steamer,
which
should
have
accomplish-
the
twenty-five-mile
journey
about
an
hour.
But
wind
and
tide
had
swept
an
im-aense
barrier
of
ice
floes
up
the
mouth
of
the
river,
blocking
it
almost
completely.
"Through
the
ice
field
we
laterally
fought
our
way
during
two
whole
days
and
nights.
Ridiculous
'"Excepting
tinned
pork
and
beans,
there
was
no
food
ab-cfclrd.
and
it
was
so
bitterly
petd
that
we
dared
not
put
our
Mies
outside
the
cabins.
!
Finally
our
ship
became
jammed
in
the
ice
within
two
Miles
of
Prince
Rupert,
and
to
tfet
out
and
walk
seemed
the
oaly
solution.
So
At
half-past
tven
in
the
morning
the
entire
company
climbed
down
the
hip's
aides
on
rope
ladders
aUd
trekked
across
the
solid
ice.
til
order
to
'land'
we
had
lo
olamber
up
a
pier
about
thirty
set
high,
hauling
up
our
bag-
flge
as
best
we
could.

toou
that
this

Is

In

there
has

for

jrobably
the

most
luxurious
in
the
world;
the
walk
over
the
ice
one
can
only
regard
as
a
figment
of
somebody's

It

thereby
given
