Difficult In

l:fforti'by tne'gov'ei'ihnant ship Sauel to get shipping clear of the harbour were continuing late last night. At 7.00 am. yesterday morn- ing she left Charlottetown with the potato boat Seagull in convoy and late in the evening she was report- sd five or six miles off Point Prim, with an unknown distance to go until bringing the ship to open water. Both ships reported heavy going and at one time they were held solid. Under present condit- ins it could not be estimated when the Saurel would return to har- hour. When she does the next ship that is due to be taken out is the Irving Company tanker Scckonk, and then on the following trip the fertilizer boat Mexico. some officials of the Marine De- partment were beginning to feel concern regarding the crew of the Saurel. pointing out that they have been working continuously under extremely trying condition since early Wednesday morning. In that time the only break they had was the three hours that was required to repair condenser trouble in Pic- tou. There is yet approximately two more solid days of work for the

from "Charlottetown, the work of lifting the buoys around the Mag- dalen Islands and the removal of the lightkeeper from Bird Rock is still to be done. It is not known for certain at present, but if the ice conditions in the gulf get very much worse. and the Saurel is re- quired here to long, it may be necessary to obtain the services of an icebreaker from the St. Law- rence River area to do these jobs.

Mr. K.C. Irving yesterday ab- andoned further efforts to have the Seekonk bring any more of the lrvingbrook's cargo in to the bulk storage plant. The company is sow going to concentrate on getting all of their ships clear of the ice. to discharge their cargo at some other of the company ptorage plants. The Seekonk Thursday took on a large supply of provisions for the Irvingbrook, and these will be transferred at the first favour- able opportunity.

Today's warmer air in the East. is expected to interfere with; smooth holiday travel. Snow was expected in many parts of the east today, the weatherman said, and risk of freezing rain in southwest- ern Ontario threatened to maka driving a nightmare.

The cold air and snow Friday continued to play havoc with trans- portation and other facilities across the country.

Heavy snow in the Fraser river canyon in British Columbia blocked a 75-mile stretch of the Trans-Can- ada Highway and slowed rail traf- fic on Canadian National Railways lines. Crews battled all day Fri- day to open the highway and keep rail traffic running.

Thousands of office workers in Toronto were late for work Friday when an air-brake line froze on a subway train, slowing all Yong: street subway traffic to a ball- hour halt.
