BERG THEORIES UPSET
BY CAPT. De CARTERET
Report of Minia's Commander
Shakes Long Established
Beliefs of Mariners.

Calculated to shake the long estab-
lished beliefs and theories of mariners re-
garding icebergs in the north Atlantic are
the statements contained In a report just
received by the naval photographic office
from Capt. de Carteret Of the cable ship
Nina, which spent a week cruising in
the vicinity of the Titanic disaster In the
search for bodies. For instance, the
captain saw bergs sailing northward,
even against the winds, when according
to theory they should have been drifting
southwark. That was true Of one great
berg, seventy feet high. of peculiar shape
not often SEEN says the captain.
1T resembled giant lying on his back,
with legs wide apart, headless. with legs
stretched about 200 feet long. the toes
pointing upward about twenty-five feet
from the ankle to the knee, submerged
and the seas washing up the fork" He
saw this twice and the second time far
to the northward Of the first position
He says:
Il may say that seventy miles east Of
Cape Race have seen bergs go past an
anchored buoy. travelling north at one
mile an hour against a light north wind
So 1t is held that any action taken by a
captain to avoid an iceberg on the basis
of a report twenty-four hours old would
as likely as not lead him on toward the
iceberg he was trying to avoid. for they
frequently travel fifteen miles a day to
the northward. Another theory was up
set by Capt. Carteret saying:
Temperature Not Due to Ice.
Temperatures taken in the vicinity OF
icebergs showed no difference from those
taken in other parts Of the same cur
rents. A captain may run 100 miles In
cold water and not see single berg.
Running to Halifax, l passed through
several bays of warm water, running into
the cold. a change taking place in less
than half an hour, yet no. icebergs were
in sight nor field ice near"
The captain admits that an iceberg
might leave a cold wake in it's lee or
there might be cold water in front OF
1t, depending on whether the current
the whole thing is so uncertain says
he, that no captain would be justified
in making any alteration In his course
from the changes in temperature only"
water were frozen and had to be thawed
in the sun before ernbalming. but one
found on the edge Of the gulf stream was
soft and decomposition had set in.
Capt; de carteret notes the eccentric
behavior Of the radio messages on his
trip which perhaps explains why 80 many
messages went astray and were not
answered at the time of the Titanic dis
aster. He concludes his report with this
recommendation which would affect every
freight carrier on the seas:
1T seems to me that the time has ar
rived when all Ocean-gOing vessels should
be compelled by law to have a wireless
outfit Of not less than 100 nautical miles
whether they carry passengers or not.
A vessel near one requiring help might as
well be 100 miles off II she has no wire
less, for all the help she can render
