pier at the Bell Island iron mine, Conception
Bay, fifteen miles from this city The direct

thousand tons Of ore and one thousand tons of
coal. The machinery and ore fell into the bay.
The steamer Syona, which was loading at
the pier, was cut adrift. and succeeded in escap-

The destruction Of the pier will probably cut
