ANOTHER FIRST VOYAGE INCIDENT

making its maiden trip from Hamberg,
ran among a squadron of bergs in g
dense fog off the banks and only es-
capped laundering by having twin
screws AS it forged along 1t sighted
an Icy barrier too near to escape by
stopping its engines. But by reversing
one and quickening the other the ship
turned on its heel so to speak and
ran parallel to the front of the berg,
just grazing it as it went by tumbling
tons of ice on its deck, scraping off a
lot Of bulwark gear, and denting its
sides and upper works, besides stam-
pedng its passengers and making
chaos in the hold.

Usually the iceberss are common,

and when contrasts of temperature
give early warning of their neaness.
But even in July the great Atlantic

Bergs are often the refuge of polar
bears carried off from their northland
home, they having ventured afar in
quest of seals.
In all nature there are few creations
at once so fanciful and so sublime as
iceberss. Every summer along the
coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador
one can witness the wonderful spec
tacles of floes and bergs in stately
procession, 5000 miles long by 200 miles
wide, moving south like armies on
parade, glittering in the sunlight or
showing spectral and awesome through
the sodden mist of fog.

these mammoth derelicts of the south

ORIGIN IN GREENLAND.
Most of the northern bergs have
their origin in Greenland. The other
arctic isles like Spitzbergen are too
limited in area to produce these mani
fold forms, and lack the currents to
carry them into the centers of COM
merce. But Greenland is in size al
most a continent, several times larger
in area than the Atlantic States. and,

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON March "a - The
War Department is considering the
advisability of removing to some
Western reservation the remnant Of
the Apache band captured at the time
of the surrender of Geronimo. The
males from the original band, six in
number, are still held at Fort Sill as
prisoners of war, although the entire
number of Indians still held as such
is 257. While still held as prisoners
of war, she Secretary of War Is of the
opinion that there is no longer reason
for holding them as such, and it is
expected that they will be placed with
some of the other Indians on one of
the various Western reservations,
where they can comeu nder the influ-
ence of those engaged in uplift work.
I While there were but SIX males who
surrendered with Geronimo in 1886,
it was decided the women and chi
dren belonging to them must be taken
also, and from the original number
has grown a band of dependent In

A lively three-cornered fight has
developed since yesterday between
the merchants of the city, the draying
companies, and the American-Ha-
waiian Steamship and the Oahu Rail
way companies. 1t all has to do with
the handling of incoming freight de-
livered on the railroad wharf by the
American-Hawaiian steamships, and
hauled from there by the draying
companies.
Yesterday afternoon the Honolulu
Construction & Draying Company and
the Hustace-Peck Draying Company
ordered a lot of their teams which
mad been engaged in hauling from the
wharf, to quit and turn in to the
stables or to other jobs. The reason
given to irate merchants bowling for
their freight shipments was that the
! freight was being unloaded from the
Virginian upon the railroad wharf in
such manner that the driveways
were left inadequate, and the con
gestion made it impossible for many
teams to work at one time.
