28 HOURS ON AN ICEBERG.
SAILING SHIP CUT IN HALF HORIZONTALLY. The crew of the Norwegian sealing vessel Prince Olaf, arrived at Lerwick on June 12 after a terrible experience m the Arctic regions. -
Their vessel started for the sealing grounds m April last, carrying a crew of ten men. On May 29 a lane was discovered m the ice, through which a great number of seals were observed. Captain Ejodi took his ship into this break ,but soon after entering the line the ice closed together with great force cuting the ship completely m half horizontally. The bottom of the vessel sank, while the upper part was forced up on the surface of the ice.
The crew got out two boats, and reached an iceberg, on which they remained for twenty-eight hours. At the end of that period the Norwegian sealer Gunildi rescued them.
