Iniinenae leelierg apparently faat on a roef
known lo exist Just oIT lloonln. "Il'a a
lucky lli*lV thought the captain, a* he
headed the Klwood for the brrg, that h#
might nil the hold with Ice 10 prtsfrra
Ihe flnlr he eapected lo catch.
When the achooner wa* within a few
yarda of ihe Ix-r* the arv hor w.i* .Iropped.
The ve* el -wucg around until ah* came
alongside the bvrg. lo which abe wa*
made fait with line* Tire tide wae at
the full, a gangplank *:u thrown over to
a ledge on the Ice and the men t-egan
breaking off chunk* of Ice and hoi*ling
them ahoard. All ward well until evening,
when thirty lona of Ice had been stowed
In Ihe hold.
Metnwhlle Ih* falling tide had cauaed
Ihe berg lo aetlle on Ihe reef and to tip
toward* the *lde oppoelt# Ihe veeaal. The
gangplank roe* In Ihe air and had lo b*
mad* fast lo a ledge naarer Ihe water to
keep It horlaohtal.
(.'apt Chester, auapecllntr that all wa*
no! going to be well, ordered tha craw ta
make rail. Before they could man tha
halyard* tha Iceberg, with a grinding
roar, ru led off the rsf and atarlad la
I urn over.
A fagged apur of Ice. which had formed
the bottom of Ihe berg, rue* on lha alar
hoard aide of the veeeel and beneath It.
The Ice atruch Ihe keel, and Ihe veaeel,
lifted out of the water, rented In an lea
cradle. Cheater ordered hla men to get
Into Ihe boat* and out of harm'* way.
(’titling the line* that held the achooner
lo the berg, the men pulled to a aaf* dla
tance an-! waited
The anchor held fast and (he e hooner
tugged Hi Ihe chain The tide dropped a
few mor* Inchra, tha Iceberg t sreened
aim funher, ore! the Klwood roae higher,
Thl* proved the achooner'* *alvatlcn.
The tendency of Ihe Iceberg lo roll over
and ralee the teasel brought *uch an enor
motis *traln upon the anchor chain that
something had lo give way. Something
did. and to Ihe Joy of Ihe flu hernia* It
wa* rot the anchor or the chain.
The Iceberg lurched, and tha w-hooner
wa* een to slide several f*et along the
