Rlances from time to time. He is hold

PASSED 81 BERGS.
Steamer GreCian Breaks the Ice
Sighting Record.

Ice seems to be more than ordinarily
plentiful along the ocean lanes of trans
atlantic steamships just now. For
shippers of vessels have been
bringing reports of bergs floating near
the steamship lanes, but Capt. Nunan,
Of the Grecian,, of the Allan-State line,
which arrived his morning. is a record
breaker in this respect.
The Grecian left Glasgow, Scotland,
May lS, and during a voyage of less
tina eleven days, as shown by her log,
passed eighty-one big ice islands.
No record was made of the innumerable
smaller chunks of ice sighted, but MEM
bers of the ,Grecian's crew say that the
sea was "slushy" with mall ice for a
great part of the voyage.
According to the Grecian's log the big
bergs are thick between latitude $3.50,
longitude 400. and latitude $40, longi-
tude $3.50. Fffty-two of the eighty-one
bergs were sighted in this distance.
A little further on SIX other ,oergs were

that had gone aground on Ballard Bank.
In the vicinity of Cape Race the Gre
clan passed twenty other icebergs.
