A PerilOus Journey.

Mr.. L. c. Allen Of this city, arrived yesterday
from his European trip. When going over on the
Allen line steamer Polynesian, an immense ice
berg was stfack while steaming in a heavy fog in
the Straits of Belle Isle. Fortunately the steam
ship touched buta corner of the iceberg, which
gave way and the boat slid along side Fifteen or
twenty tons of ice fell on deck from above, caused
by the shock Had the berg been struck ten feet
further in where the ice was solid, the steamer
must have gone down almost instantly rs without
doubt she would have been opened to the smoke
stack. This occurred about TWO O'Clock in the
morning. The shock and sudden roll of the
sel caused great confusion for shor time, nearly
all the passengers appearing on deck, WITHOUT
much regard for dress. The steamer was not ex
tensiyely damaged, and proce' ded on her way,
making but little water Some ooo souls were on
board. The boats were cleared away, but forum
ately there was no use for them. There was
heavy swell st the time.
Returning, Mr.. Allen sailed from Liverpool

covered in the cargo. Inc iuilowihg account we

morning of the 29th ult. smoke was seen by the
boats vain issuing from The fore hold, and II was
discovered that bales of wooden goods IN the lower
hold were on fire. When the matches were lifted
the flames shot upward, accompanied by strange
and sufocating smell The boatswsiD, who went
below to direct the hose, soon became overpower-

officer, Thomas who CALAMITY took his place,
shared the fate Of his predecessor, and with diff
