sage is thus depicted in the Quebec Chronicle
A passenger who had left the saloon and had
come on deck to smoke cigar prior to retir-
ing, thus describes what occurred: was on
the point of walking forward in the direction
of the bridge, when the sailor stationed in
the bow called out slice ahead" The cap
tain, who was on the bridge at the time,
instantly called out very distinctly Z" Ice
ahead 2 and simultaneously gave the orders
to the engineers through the electric wires to
ease, stop and reverse the engines; he also
wired the signal to the man at the wheel,
Hard-a-port."
His orders were Immediately acted upon,
and q signal to that effect was sounded on the
bells SO that he might know his instructions
were promptly obeyed. This action, of course,
only took a few seconds to carry out, when
the passenger, on looking toward the prov Of
the boat, saw large iceberg directly in the
ships course, and looming up through the
darkness as high as was the lower yard on the

shifting of the helm, and the reversing of the
engines, she struck the ice mountain with
tremendous conclusion.

twenty feet in length, and, under Provi-

the shock the hull was not completely
STAYED in. This tough timber pierced the ice
in an oblique upward direction, and was for
half its length shattered and splintered in
most strange manner to within few feet from
the bulkheads. The hull next came in contact
with this dread of the sea, and with such force
as to bend and twist several of the vessels
ribs and bullying the outer plates in such
manner that they were forced in and out until
they looked like undulating waves of the
ocean.
The strain on the rivets was terrible, and
had it not been for the unusual strength and
excellence of the construction, hole big
enough to have sunk her Immediately would
have been the result As it was, the leakage
commenced Immediately. The engines being
uninjured, the vessel slid off the ledge of
ice en- to which she had thrust herself and
backed into deep water. The effect of the
on the berg was to entirely de-
molish it; it was split in two, and the pas
sengers on both starboard and port sides could
see and hear the fragments as they crumbled
past the stateroom windows.

ment produced no less than seven
teen Bishops, and if that be conced-
ed, Greenland could not have been
a very bad place, for men that knew
how to enjoy life and utilize civiliz-
alton.
Bjarne Herjulfson sailing from
Iceland toward Greenland in $50,
was driven out of his course, and
discovered America ssland flat and
covered with trees but he did not
land, having a settled purpose to
find his father Herjulf in Iceland.
1t is supposed that the land he saw
was Nantucket, but of course there is
no absolute certainty on that head.
Left Erikson soon after that time
assumed the task of completing the
discovery of this country and he es-
tablished himself near Fall River,
Massachusetts,, calling the country
Vinland, for the reason that man
in his party, German, discovered
Grapes growing wild near the first
1celandic settlement. Thorwald,
the brother of Erick, moved by the
history of his brothers adventures
came here two years later in the year
1902, but IN a quarrel with the ma
tives, he was fatally shot with an
arrow, and Vinland gave him sepul-
ture; his grave being ornamented
with two crosses when he was laid
under the green sod of Massachus-
etts. MIR. Anderson believes that the
skeleton in armor, found in 1891,
concerning which Longfellow wrote
the poem commencing:
"Speak! speak! thou fearful guest!''
was all that remained of the adven-
turous, and to be envied Thorwald
Erikson.

How MOUNTAINS ARE SAWED
IN Two.-The contracting or shriy-
cling Of the earth causes the rocks
near the surface to wrinkle or fold,
and such fold was started athwart
the course of the river. Had it been
suddenly formed, it would have been
an obstruction sufficient to turn the
water in new course to the east,
hey the extension ofthe wrinkle;
but the emergence of the fold above
the general surface of the country
was little or no faster than the pro-
gress Of the erosion of the chan
mel. We may say, then, that the
river did not cut its way DOM
through the mountains, from a
height of many thousand feet above
its present site; but, having an ele-
walton differing but little, perhaps,
from wig t now has, as the fold
was lifted Il cleared away the OBJ
struction by cutting canon and the
walls were thus elevated on either
side. The river preserved its level,
but mountains were lifted up; as
the saw revolves on a fixed pivot,
while the log through which it
cuts is moved along. The river was
the saw which cut the mountains
in two.-PoweX.
