STEAD'S ICEBERG STORY.
Imaginary Voyage of S. S. Majestic
Which Narrowly Escapes Being Ice

William r. Stead whose loss on tile
Titanic is now taken for granted. once
described in a story. From the Old
World to the New the narrow escane
of a ship from an iceberg. Extracts
from that story. which was printed in
the Christmas number of the London
Review of Reviews in 1892, ares az
aThen dense, cold fog filled the air.
You breathed it and swallowed it,. on
| deck all was strained attention. The
captain on the bridge kept constant
lockout. Every haIf-minute tie fog
whistle booGed It's great voice into tile
fog; sometimes as from far-away
distance they heard the boom of am
other fog horn But they could see
nothing. At the bows the deck lookout
peered into the impenetrable mist, and
the qulrterniaster posted to the lee
ward and lowered the thermometer in
a little canvas bag to test the temper
ature.'
Then a character i'm the story says
to deck companion; 'Icebergs are
mountains of ice floating about in the
sea. Ice, YOU know. does not sink in
water. The ieebefgs float Just a little
above the surface. All the rest is be-
low. These icebergs are born in Green

and more SNOW falls, the great mass

ciers are Formed slowly moving solid
rfvers Of frozen and solisiified snow.
When the glacier pushes its way into
| the sea its end breaks off, tumbles over
into the water with noise like thun
der. and becomes an ieelerg. The gla-
ciers are constantly making ieebergs.
