Two Hundred Miles Of Ice.


The English steamship Mark Lane arrived
at this port last evening in terribly bat
tered condition. the result of twO-weeks
imprisonment in an ice foe In the North
Atlantic Ocean. The vessel left Dundee,
Scotland, forty days ago, with $500 bags

and when the steamer encountered the pack
ice her fuel was already running low. Soon
the coal was exhausted, and the woodwork
of the ship was cut away TO keep tre In the
furnaces. Everything movable on deck, the
matches, masis, shifting boards and wood
between decks was burned.
For two weeks the struggle to keep the
Lane from being crushed was constant.
Captain Way says that the pack was two
hundred miles In extent, and the foes were
the largest he had ever seen. They closed
about the vessel, crushing her bows, and
had Il not been for the water tight com
partments the vessel would have gone
down with all on board. During the ships
IMPRISONMENT she was visited by the crews
of several sealing ships that had been like
wise caught in the ice. An attempt was
made TO reach st. Johns, Newfoundland,
the nearest port, but the vessel was forced
further south to Halifax, n. s.. which she
reached with the greatest difficulty. After
coaling and repairing, the steamer proceeded
on her way to this city, her cargo having
been destroyed, and steam from the decayed
vegetables Issuing from the matches.
