ties navigating the fields and passed
several icebergs which were 200 feet
high. The captain of the Pisa said
several large bergs were seen to the
south
Capt. Webster of the Montrose said
there was more ice further south than
he had seen in his sea experience Of more
than 40 years. He said that the depth OF
