ONE way in which the crew of an
ocean steamer detect the fact that they
are nearing the neighborhood of ice
bergs is by observing the action of the
propeller. The water surrounding
the vicinity of ice bergs is much colder
than ordinary for a considerable dis
tance around, and when the vessel en-
ters water of such a reduced tempera-
ture the propeller runs faster When
this action is perceptibly increased
without the steam power being aug
mented, word is sent up from the en-
CINE room to the officer on the bridge,
and a close lookout is kept.
