ICEBERGS AND LINERS. Icebergs wore unusually plentiful in the North Atlantic in July and August, constituting a very serious danger to shipping. Three steamers were crippled by them in ten days. On July 23 the cargo steamer Regains entered St. John’s, Newfoundland, with her whole bow battered in by contact with a berg in. a dense fog off Cape Race. She was so seriously injured that a deckload of machinery had to be jettisoned and 100 tons of coal thrown overboard, but even with this relief she barely succeeded in making port. Three days later the Black Diamond liner Bonavista, with seventy passengers aboard, made the port- with her bow stove in in the same fashion. At the impact her passengers stampeded to the deck and rushed for the boats, and only the most strenuous exertions on the part of the officers averted a tragedy. At_ the same time the Canadian Pacific Railway liner Montrose was lying off Cape Race for four days repairing the damage caused .by colliding -with another berg while on her way to Montreal with 300 passengers. She was badly damaged _ forward, and the British warship Brilliant stood by her until she effected repairs to enable her to reach her destination. Earlier in July there had been several other accidents. Fishing operations had to bo suspended in Belle Isle Strait and Labrador waters, seriously inconveniencing the 25,000 people employed. The bergs interfered with the trawlers on the great banks, and the opening of the cod fishery' had to be postponed. The ice conditions ware the worst known since 1863, and St. John’s Harbor was sealed up throughout the spring. The bergs, which were of huge size, were drifting down to the tracks of the transAtlantic liners, and as the presence of ice commonly meant foggy weather, the greatest concern was expressed for the safety of the ships using the busy highway. Some yeans ago the track was moved 200 miles south, by common consent, with the object of avoiding the icebergs of spring and summer, and even there, in years like the present one, navigators have to keep a sharp watch for ice. Last year a big German liner collided with a small berg, fortunately suffering no serious damage, but her escape was a narrow one. PERILS OF THE DEEP. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
