ALLAN LINER HITS ICEBERG.
Steamer Corsican CoIIides With Ice
East of Belle Isle Straits.

Halifax, N. S., Aug. 14.-The Allan
line steamer Corsican, bound for Liv-
erpool from Montreal, with 200 pas
sengers, struck an iceberg east OF
Belle Isle Straits, at the mouth of
the st. Lawrence river, between La
brador and Newfoundland.
The vessel was running under low
speed when the crash occurred. To
this fact may be attributed her escape
from the fate of the Titanic.
The Corsican struck the iceberg
only glancing blow, and after an in
spection which showed the damage
to be inconsequential, the captain de-
cided to proceed on the voyage to
Liverpool.
Bremen, Aug. 13.-With 1900 immi'
grants on board, the steamer Frank
furt OF the North German Lloyd line
was towed into this port by two steam
ers ON Monday.
The Frankfurt was badly damaged
in collision with an unknown steam
er near the Haak Hghtship. Soon
after the crash the Frankfurt began
shipping water in large quantities,
but the unknown steamer kept on her
way despite calls for help from the
disabled steamers siren.
The Frankfurt sent wireless calls
for help, but two steamers passing
heard her siren and went to the res
cue. 1t is not believed the emigrants
are in danger, as, should the Frank
furt sink further before reaching port,
they can be transferred to the escort
steamers in short time
