WAS IT A BERG?
(By Teleoraph.)
(Special to "The Evening Post.")
DUNEDIN, This Day.- ---* Mr. Armstrong is an experienced photographer, and is definite about seeing an iceberg. He is of the opinion that it could have been photographed with a forty-inch lens. The direction. was about due south. No shipping went south yesterday or to-day. : Captain Coll M'Donald, an experienced master mariner in sail and steam, who has sailed in southern latitudes, is rather sceptical, , and says it is ■ not likely that an iceberg would be floating round at this time of year when everything is frozen in the south. In spring and summer bergs float up into northern latitudes. He states that he, has seen bergs round about the Auckland Islands. The seen to the New Zealand coast were at a distance of about 300 to 400 miles.' In'any case he does not think the set of the current would bring one here. \
