A LINER'S NARROW ESCAPE:
IN COLLISION WITH A HUGE ICEBERG.
EXCITING SCENES ON BOARD,
;
During her voyage from Mon- trodl to the Clydo and Liverpool the Canadian Pacifle liner, Mont- calm struck an iceberg in the Straits of Belle Isle. The vessel arrived at Greenock later, when graphic accounts of the experi onces of the passengers of whom, there were over 1000, were givon.
Fogs of varying density were experienced during the passage down the St. Lawrence, and when the Straits were reached an
ice- field, comprising many huge bergs, was encountered. It was with the utmost difficulty that the liner proceeded on her way, and between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday, July 3rd, a vast mass of ice suddenly loomed up out of the thick fog on the starboard side, towering high above the funnels of the Mont- calm,
Travelling dead slow at the time the liner slid on to a submerged platform of fee, with the result that she took a heavy list to port. Almost immediately a crunching sound was heard; and when even- tually she got clear it was dis- covered that while the hull of the vessel was undamaged a propel- ler blade had been broken and the paint has been scraped off the bilge keel.
