^H Ice-Breaking Craft Unable To Dock Because of Ice Floes Charlottetown, Jan. 21.—(CP)— Bucking heavy drift ice, the car ferry Prince Edward Island with 75 passengers and a crew of 60 aboard was still trying to fight its way into the docks at Borden, P.E.I., this morning, nearly 16 hours after it left Cape Tormen-tine, N.B., nine miles away. The big ice-breaking craft was only a short distance from the Borden docks to-day. But there was no opportunity to land the passengers, because of the treacherous surface of the grinding ice cakes. Once before, at about midnight last night, the ferry bucked its way to within two lengths of the docks, but was carried out to sea again by the ebbing tide. Leaving Cape Tormentine at 4.40 p.m. yesterday, the ferry sailed without incident across Northumberland strait until within sight of the *P.E.I. shore. There it was caught in the ice-jam which has encircled it since. There was no sleeping accommodations on the vessel, but it is equipped with a restaurant and plentiful supplies of food to last several days.
