BIRTH OF AN ICEBERG.
The Dramatic Experience OF Two

nature So peculiar that IL Is probable
no other man could duplicate the ex.

In February, 1900. he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men Then, wishing To take n
picture of the shore, he sent his boat
back 10 the vessel TO get camera, and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
on the rough beach. Before the boat
returned strange and awful thing
happened, Mr. Borchgrovink told the
story I'm the Outlook.
A roar and rush, with tremendous
explosions, shook the beach The
thought came TO us that the perpendic-
ular rocks above Gs were falling. Then
we realized what was taking place.
The mighty glacier Immediately 10 the
west OF us was giving birth TO an ice.
berg.
Millions OF tons OF Ice plunged into
the ocean. We could see nothing be.
yond an immense cloud OF rolling
snow. Tho water rose from tho plunge

We rushed 10 the highest point OF our
limited beach, four feet above the sea
We saw advancing on us dark green
ridge with white crest. ! called 10
Jensen TO struggle for dear life. We
clutchcd the uneven rocks. with our
backs toward the advancing water. Al
though Il could not have taken more
than seven minutes the time seemed
long before the water closed over our
heads.
Floating upward, scrambling upon
the rocks, tore the nails from my
flesh I'm my endeavor 90 keep from be.
Ing dragged out. After the second
wave we again felt the rocks under
our feet.
At the place where Jensen and first
stood the rock was wet twenty feet
above our heads. lt was somewhat
lower when II struck us. Where the
wave had struck with full force the
face OF the rock had been altered. and
rocks were still falling when the three
men In the boat found us, bleeding and
torn
Two facts had saved us. TO our right
small peninsula Of ice protrudcd
some five feet from the rock, and the
rock itself bent townrd the west. From
the moment IL struck the curve OF the
mountain rock 10 the west OF us the
wave took course more easterly than
where Jensen aud stood.

then called upon for q report. A. Mr.

cations of the commissioner to date.
Three propositions were considered,

French rips, the use of acetylene gas,
and the purchase of power from the
Skowhegan electrical company, the cor.
poration to furnish its own poles, wire,
