Country for Months,
Boston, Mass.—lcebergs of nus
ual size and number, one of them es
timated to contain enough ice to sup
ply the homes of a larg: part of the
country for the rest of the summer,
have been encountared by the United
States coast guard cutter Seneca and
Yamacraw, which are policing the
ocean steamship lanes.
Since early February the United
States governméent, acting under an
international agreement and at inter
national expense, has main
tained th'a annual iceberg patrol.
The coast guardsmen have helped
many vessels to steer safe cours?
through the danger zone.” Some have
extracated from serious positions,
others have heen warned when they
were headed for the ice.
The open winter caused a large
number of bergs to bieak away early
and drift south. They have become
an abnormally serious menace to
navigation according to naval offi
cers. Many ore of huge dimensions.
The giant of all the icebergs is de
scribed by Lieutenant Commander
E. H. Smith, navigator of the Seneca
as approximately one-third of a mile
long and towering 75 feet above the
water. This berg remained in sight
for nearly "a month, during which
time it traveled 300 miles.
