A succession of noises had continued with ' little interruption for several hours, and at' * last the ice beneath tne began to move. J ' started up, and, on looking around, I saw ;1 that the whole surf ice of the lake was in a ;i State of agitation. My eye became dim, s and 1 stretched out my arms to catch hold s of some object, mi! felt as if all crea e ;1 things were passing oxy.y. iv The hissing, grinding, and < rnsjiing, produced by the different masses of ice coining 1 into collission, were tremendous.

The wind, which was prcd v s'rong, drove , the ice down two lake very f.ist. My alarms j, .on,-f nnxitios iiad gradually l.ccome less in- !. v w tense. and I was several l nies ovt-rcorne j j by e sort of stupor, during rho continuance;, of which, imagination and reality combined !
