CRASHING ICE Through a three-foot crust of ice and snow, the Canadian Government ice-breaker, N. B. McLean, has forced her way toward Montreal after a setback in her battle to open Montreal navigation on the St. Lawrence River. The specially-built vessel had to double back to break up an ice-jam on Lake St. Peter. She is now near Montreal and navigation may commence within two weeks.
