bottom plates, the luckily light effects
of headon collision with the same sheer

The Eburoon, a Belgian relief ship,
is slowly pounding to pieces at Mistak-
en- Point, not far from the fine Kris
tianiafjord, which struck in a fog in
July and still lies, almost intact, high
upon the rocks Bacon sells at 20
cents a pound here, and will continue
at that nprecedentcdly low price until
the last of the salved cargo of the Ebu-
room has been disposed Of
Occasionly a ship escapes destruc-
tion as if by miracle, and usually owes
ii TO the stanch construction of her
bulkheads. In December, 1915, the
Queen Margaret, from Boston to Eu-
rope, went ashore headon at the same
place. She backed into deep water and
managed to make ST. John s. She got
into port an extraordinary spectacle.
Her bow was torn away far above the
water line, and ON dry dock she showed
long fecces of wool protruding and
hanging down from her forward hold.
Still more remarkable was the case
Of the Tressilian, which came into st.
John : in the same fashion last Nav.
She had struck the land in a dense fog
ripping away the bottom plates Of her
bow, and, backing off, had driven twice
into an iceberg, smashing in the super
structure of the bow itself A great
gaping hole showed down to the water
from her deck Yet she remained aloat
and left port some weeks later with a
complete new bow.
The occurrence Of so many wrecks.
at time when every ship lost is a
disaster, has given rise to an agitation
for more adequate warning to ear and
eye along this perilous seaboard. The
cause is assigned by many to a change in
the ocean currents, shifting slightly
northward of the Gulf stream The theory
may find some support in the coinci-
dence that the last summer OH this coast
has been very warm and fine. rartieu-
larly in the earlier stages, when many
of the accidents occurred. June is gem
orally cool here, but this year its TEN.
perature would be considered high in
August.
