ICEBERG CRASH TOLD
STEAMER REACHES PORT SAFE
LY AFTER TERRIFIC STRUGGLE.
Crew Of Ship Struggle at the Pumps
to Hold Boat Afioat After Col n,
lision In the Dark.

St. Johns, N. F., Nov. 6.-The
freighter Manchester Commerce OF
the Furness line dragged her way into
the harbor here on Tuesday, her bow
mass Of crumbled wreckage and her
pumps working madly to defeat the
flood Of water which poured in through
the shattered hull.
The steamer, which carries NO wire
less apparatus, crashed head on into
giant iceberg at two o'clock Sunday
morning while about 100 miles east of
Belle Isle.
The night was very dark and the
berg loomed out of the blackness SO
suddenly there was no time to change
the course of the steamer, which
swept at full speed into the mountain
Of ice. The force of the impact was
terrible. The steel PROV of the liner
was qrumpled like piece Of tin as
| far aft as the collision bulkhead. The
decks were covered with huge frag-
ments of broken ice and wreckage.
Captain Couch made hasty survey
of the damage and headed his ship
for st. Johns. He succeeded in mott
flying his agents at Montreal by means
Of flag signals.
The sea was swept by a heavy
storm and the steamer had q hard
time making port. Torrents of water
poured into the hold through the shat
tered bow. The pumps, although con-
stantly In operation, could scarcely
hold their own. The ship reached
here In q sinking condition.
