nadian liners and freighters. They
are also a menace to the New York
and Boston liners when they drift
south of the Grand Banks, and as
th- ships speed along through the
fog they often impale themselves
upon the jagged fangs of the berg
or escape but a hair’s breadth.
In June, 1809. the Saale, from
Southampton to New York, bowling
along the banks in the midnight
gloom, found its pathway barred oy
a gl.ttering battlement nearly 100
-eet high. T he lookouts, sighting
it, shouted a warning to the officer
on the watch, who reversed the en-
gines and altered the helm so that
it barely crunched along over the
submerged foot of the berg, bump-
ing heavi.y a few times and being
shot off again into deep water side-
wise, so that its coal and cargo list-
ed, and it reached port with its
starboard rail hardly above the wa-
ter. Its passengers were thrown
from their berths with the shock
and rushed frantically on deck, but
danger was then over.

just where men of such and such
