Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society of London, 1835, Vol. 5 If the lake ice has been broken into small pieces, these some times pass on to the gulf without encumbering the river, and when they are all gone by, the bridge is replaced, and things remain as before till the arrival of a fresh batch. If, on the contrary, the flakes are large, they get jammed one against the other, and not only remain fixed themselves, but arrest the progress of the suc ceeding masses. Between them, however, are large spaces quite clear of ice. In this state, a violent wind is sometimes sufficient again to detach and break the flakes and allow them to proceed, when the river again becomes free. This, however, is not frequent; and, as we have said, when the large flakes fix, the communication is for a while wholly interrupted, not that the ice will not bear, but because of the unfrozen spaces, so much the more dangerous as they are smaller, for then a pellicle of ice being soon formed they become covered with snow and are hidden.
