Icchcres MS Indicators,

In the investigation of the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland IL
hes been observed that there is at
times wide difference in the direction
of the drift Of icebergs and that Of
the fat or pan ice, which, having no
great depth. is governed In its mo.
tlons by the surface currents and the
winds, whereas the icebergs, the lar,
ger part of which is submerged to q
great Depth follow only the movement
Of the ocean water as a whole and are
uninnuenced by the winds. In eonse
quence a huge berg may often be seer,
majestically maintaining its slow nd
vance in opposition to the wind and
across the general motion of the fields
of fat ice surrounding it, The sealers
often take advantage of this fact by
mooring their vessels to an iceberg in
order to prevent drift to leeward.-
