SHIP HITS ICEBERG,
BUT IS UNFRAMED
Passengers Given Scare as
Canadian Pacific Liner Is
Delayed a. Hours.

GLASGOW, Scotland, July 1.-THE
Canadian Pacific steamer Montcalm,
two days out from Montreal, ran into
an iceberg, but eventually came off
without much damage, though she
was delayed A hours in the ice field.
The Montcalm had a close escape
when, on July 3, after passing several
small bergs in the Strait of Belle Isle,
the ship suddenly slipped onto sub
merged lodge of a big berg and
canted steeply. It had been foggy for
many hours, and the Montcalm con-
sequently was proceeding slowly, with
q keen lookout. But the tall iceberg
appeared to rise suddenly out of the
mist.
1t was $50 in the afternoon and
many of the passengers were on deck.
Others hurried up, feeling the shock.
They We're ordered to don lifebelts.
Lifeboats were swung out and crews
stood ready to launch them.
In the meantime the Montcalm
righted herself and slid off the ledge.
An examination showed that a pro-
peller blade was gone. but otherwise
only the paint was Scraped.
The fog continued for two days and
the ship was unable to proceed. Other
vessels We're similarly held up and
sirens were heard on all sides.
Eventually the fog lifted and the
Montcalm, although somewhat Grip
pied. was able to proceed at reduced
speed.
