Captain Johnson refuted the preva-

bergs. Little or no change in tempera-
ture was noticeable, he said Nor can
icebergs, as generally supposed, be
detected with any certainty by an
echo from ships whistle or bells,
as, according TO Captain Johnston, a
perpendicular berg may give an echo
from some directions, but a slanting
face reflects the sound. About ninety
per cent. of the Seneca's efforts to
