in February, 1900, he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men. Then, wishing to take a
picture of the shore, he sent his boat
back to the vessel TO get camera, and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
on the rough beach. Before the boat
cetnlned q strange and awful thing
happened. Mr.. Borchgreyink told the
story in the Outlook:
A roar and rush, with tremendous
explosions, shook the beach. The
thought came to US that the perpendic-
ular rocks above Us were falling. Then
we realized what was taking place.
The mighty glacier Immediately to 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

snow. The water rose from the plunge

the rocks, tore the nails from my

wave we agein felt the rocks under
our feet.
At the place where Jensen and I first
stood the rock was wet twenty feet

wave had struck with full force the
face of the rock had been altered, and
rocks were still falling when the three

vAsEL1NE NO GOOD FOR HAIR.
Dandruff Germ Thrives in it, AS Well
as in all Grease.

A well known Chicago hair specialist
invited the Inter-Ocean reporter to
come to his office and see, under a NIL
croscope, how the germ that causes
dandruff thrives in vaseline. The
specialist said that all hair prepara-
tions containing grease, simply FUR
nish food for the germs and help to
porpogate them. The only way to
cure dandruff is to destroy the germs,
and the only hair preparation that
will do that Is Newbro's Herpicidee.
Destroy the cause you remove the ef-
feet" Without dandruff no falling
hair, no badness. Ask for Herpicide.
1t Is the only destroyer of the dand-
ruff germ.

in shipping circles here that Il British
transport laden with American mules
bound for South Africa has been inter
cepted and blown up by Boer spy in
the gulf OF Mexico or has foundered
A schooner arriving on the lower
coast reports hundreds of dead mules
floating for distance of thirty miles.
This news has greatly stirred shippers
here. who fear that further desperate
attempts will be made to stop the cx.
port of mules to Cape Town.
The more conservative elements at
tribute the floating carcasSes to a dis
aster to one of the British vessels dur.
ing the storms that have been raging
near the coast this week.
Dispatches from Quintana. Tex.
which is only Il short distance south Of
Fort Eads. say that the schooner Olga
has put into Malta gorda bay to shelter
from the fierce gale blowing on the
gulf and that Captain George Peterson
reports having seen long rows Of dead
cattle and mules floating in the water
He describes the range of the dead
stock as covering at least forty miles
