about tea inches long. He is very weak

The Pnen,rero'of Ice-bound
Steamer off Milwaukee.
From the Milwaukee Wlreoosin, April 25. J
It was a sigbl worth looking at yesterdzy
to see the lee-bound navigators coming
ashore from tb 'steamers, lo Ibe lorenoon,
a party of seven, among whom wa one
lady, oame ashore over tb treacherous
coaling or toow and tbin ice, a distance of
a mil or more. In tb afternoon another
parly started for land. The provisions govs
out on the steamer, and as these gentlemen
could board no longer on baard, each one
look a plank under hla arm, and resolved
to board himself to the shore-.
And this Is the way it was don. The
plank, which measured about eight feet In
length, was laid flat and the owner walked
along to the end. He then either luroed
It over or pushed It forward It length and
walked ovei It at before, a ever venturing a
foot beyood the end. It will be seen Ibat
in order to make a distance of one mile in
Ibis manner the plank bad lobe turned
over six hundred and sixtv timet.
Every little while a soft spot would let
one or the party in the water, generally as
Isr the knees, often to Ibe waist, and occas
ionally up to the ears, which was not so
great a inlelortun as imagined, for the
reason that In consequence of It, the navi
gators were not only getting board, but
tbelr washlog a well. The journey was
certainly a licklisb ane, bat no serious ac
cident occurred. We notice this morning a
large spot of olear water between tbe ice
and shore, which will be apt to make (these
journeys too hazardous even for the most
adventurous.
