HEMMED IN BY ICE FL0E
IN MIDDLE OF ATLANTIC
Captain of British Steamer Reports
Remarkable Escape from
Big Bergs

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE British
steamer Volturno, which arrived yes
terday, had a remarkable experience
with icebergs in midatlantic. At a.
m. Sunday, May 8, Capt. James Harri-
son found that his vessel, which carried
200 passengers and a large consignment
of freight from England, was COM
pletely surrounded by icebergs and ice
foes.
The engines were slowed down and at
daylight the Volturno was so com
pleteiy hemmed in that the engines
were stopped, and all of Sunday the
vessel drifted as a part of the ice. At
times there was danger of the giant
bergs crushing the ship between them
but Capt. Harrison found himself IN
able to do anything because ice sur
rounded him.
A wind sprang up early Monday
morning, making a channel through the
ice and the steamer quickly sped out
through this and liberated itself.

Solutions to Problems
Problem lit is evident that the
dummy will win the trick with 10 of
hearts since eight from eleven leaves
three, and therefore the leader held
originally four or more hearts headed
by king, jack, 9, s. The first considera-
ton should be what high cards does
the dealer hold to have justified him
in declaring no trump?
An examination of the cards held
by dummy and those held by himself
is sufficient to enable Pone to deter
mine this with reasonable certainty.
1t is apparent that placing the king.
Jack of hearts in the hand of leader
the only high cards for the dealer to
hold are the aces in clubs, diamonds
and spades and the jack of clubs. To
have justified a no trump he must
have the three aces, hence the only
card of consequence which cannot be
placed Is the jack of clubs.
1t is apparent that the dealer must
win five tricks in spades, three in
hearts, three in clubs and one in dia-
monds, a total of twelve. If dealer
holds the jack of clubs and two small
clubs he must win a grand SIAM
In the instance given in the last
paragraph of article II readers We're
requested to state what suit should be
returned should partner open with a
king which, holding the trick. is fol-
lowed by fourth best in another suit If
second trick is won by third hand, ANA
the queen of the first suit in neither in
dummy or his own hand.
At no trump l should consider that
the second suit was the one to return,
the king having been led only for the
purpose of showing a sure re-entry.
At declared trump l should consider
that my partner held originally ace,
king, with jack or TO- and that he was
waiting for me to lead the suit in order
to catch the queen held by dealer,
hence 1 should return the first suit
upon obtaining the lead.
Article 10
The forming of differences naturally
begins when the hand is first examined,
for if it is very poor you Immediately
infer a disastrous result, and If it Is
very good you infer success. Consid-
cred from the side of the dealer the
first inference naturally is that with
certain combinations he can win the
game. while the first thought of an
adversary is, Can l save the game?
