sIonster IceberRs.

A warm Winter, like the one lust past,
lessons the quantity of Ice formed In these
lattitudes, but 1t very much Increases the
quantity which comes floating down from
the regions OF endless cold, by causing the
breaking upof tho illimitablc fields of Polar
ice. Consequently, unless those charged
| with the care Of ocean steamers are cx-
eeptionally watchful, disasters caused by
collisions with floating ice may be conf
IDENTITY expected in unusual numbers during
tho approaching season. Those accustom-
! cd to tho sea do not need to be told how
dangerous are collisions with ice; but land
lubbsrs, who would look with surprise at
sheet Of ice over three feet thick and u
tew hund.ed square feet In area can
scarcely imagine the congealed masses
which sometimes lie across tho paths of
the ocean fleet. The berg with which
the Arizona collidcd was 500 feet long and
LOU feet high above tho water. Conse-
qucntly, it extended 200 feet below the
surface, and made mass as solid and
nearly as dangerous IA a sunlten rock on
the charts. But that way only baby Ice
berg. There is Il record of one 100 feet
high, fifty miles long, and miles broad

glaciers thrust themselves forward into tho
depths OF tho sea, whose rough embrace Is
followed by the ''eaving" Of the iceberg.
Sometimes they are met in large numbers,
and then the ship may be "nippcd" be-
tween them, and as they sometimes roll
over, ship is scarcely safe within radius
OF 100 yards Of ONO. Sheet ice is less dan

On ono Of the vessels that escaped de-
sfuction in the memorable gale of Feb. 81,
1872, was young man who then made his
ilrst and last trip to tho Georges. His ex-
periences c1fcctually cured hun Of his pas

was eager and ambitious. His vessel start
ell from port on the 14th, and in twenty
four hours they sighted the fleet on the
Banks, riding, ut anchor. The weather
was clear and fine. Men were at the rails
pulling IN fish. Soon the schooner was at
anchor. Although the fishing was very
exciting, tho young man suffered much
from the cold rs he stood at the rail- When

shells. Everything looked wild, and at
8 o'clock the skipper began to grow un-
casy. The sky grew inky black, tho wind
vocrcd to the northeast and increased in
violence. Then snow began to fall. The
skipper ordered that ten fathoms more of
cable be paid out. Lights on the surround
Ing vessels made weird picture. Part of
tho crew went to bed, but thoy could not
sleep. At midnight the gallo was at its
height. Tho wind shrickcd through tho
cordago and the waves leapcd and roared.
Yet the crew showed no fear. They were
all on deck, koonly watching. The novice
was sick of his venture, but suppressed as
we'll as he gould all signs of terror. His
chum, old Bon, had placed a hatchct near
tho windlass in readiness 10 cut tho anchor
cablO. The greatest danger was from pos
slble COLI ion with other vessels should
they break their cables. One large vessel
broke and came down with terrific velocity,
but she passed without collision. Just
after daylight, and while the crew were
eating breakfast, the skipper sang out:
"Thor's a vessel adrift right ahead of us,

his post. lie could be trusted, and all
knew it. All eyes were on the flying craft.

crew flinched. She was heading directly
for the apparently doomed vessel. But
she passed by with the swiftness of a gull,
so near thai the sailors could have sprang
aboard her. The faces of the crew were
white and tcrror-strickcn. She sped on
and struck another vessel. Tho raging
waters closed over both. Twice during
that day the vessel narrowly escaped like
danger, but her anchors held fast, and at
sundown the gale moderated. The young
sullor hoped that the skipper would heave
up and start for homo. But much to his
disappointment the crew coolly got out
their lines and went TO fishing again, just as
If there had been no storm. Tney tished
for another week, and sailed for home, to
find the town In panic. over the loss Of
fifteen vessels and 1870 men. When the
young man reached home he was told that
he had grown much older In the few weeks
