RISK ICEBERCS TO
ESCAPE WARSHlPS
Three British Liners Reach
Montreal with 5000
Refugees.

Montreal. Aug. l7.-Three liners fly
ing British flags and carrying more
than three thousand Americans and Ca
nadians VINO fed from Continental Eu-
rope upon the opening Of hostllities,
arrived here to-day They were the Vir-
gilman, Of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way: the Teutonic, Of the White Star
Line, and the Tunisan, OF the Allan
Line.
All three ships had exciting voyages.
To avoid German warships the liners
sped through dense fogs. hidden away
in which icebergs were known 20 be.
In order not 70 divulge their positions
to the enemy. however. fog horns and
bells were not used, and at night all
lights were eXtinguished. The wire
less on the ships was kept silent, too.
Passengers on the Teutonic reported
that the ship had been pursued by a
German cruiser. The warship az times
swept the seas with her searchlight in
an effort to find the liner. The Teutonic
lay TO during this operation, and the
cruiser finally disappeared over the
horizon.
A wireless call for help was then sent
out by the Teutonic so the passengers
reported, and It not only brought a
British cruiser. which was thought 70
be the Essex, but the German man-of-
war also returned. According 70 the
passengers, the British cruiser was in
pursuit of the German when they saw
the last OF the two vessels.
The officers OF the Virginian reported
that Captain Kendall, who, after the
sinking Of the Canadian Pacific liner
Empress of ireland in the St. Lawrence
River, with a loss of more than thou
sand lives. was placed in command OF
the Montrose, of the same line. had run
his ship into Antwerp and rescued
number OF Americans and Canadians
stranded there. He also towed the Ca
madam Pacific liner Montreal, which
was undergoing repairs in Antwerp. out
to sea. and then successfully ran his
ship TO London.

lish banker 10 cash his check. The Rev
