Only the fittest survive the bufferings of the sea, to be carried south on the flow of the Labrador current and along the eastern edge of the banks of the gulf stream. This warm current gives them short shrift; but until they have dwindled to the size of an ample library desk they are capable of staving In a vessel's plates. The Labrador current, although a danger carrier, has Its usefulness. It teems with all kinds of marine life, affording breeding and feeding grounds for our best food fish. The berg danger period coincides with the heavy flow period of the Labrador current each year that Is, from March 1 to July 1. It Is during thlls period that the cutters areas. patrol the Two cutters are assigned to the Ice patrol, with a third cutter held In reserve. The cutter on duty Is a busy place every day. To carry out the orders, to locate the Icebergs and Ice fields nearest the transatlantic steamship lanes, and to determine the southerly, easterly and westerly limits of the Ice as It mores to the southward, and keep track of all ice seen or reported, Is not an easy task.

As a boat approaches a floating Ice island a sizzling sound becomes audible. Close attention shows that this comes from small pieces of ice slipping off Into the sea. Unlike ordinary Ice lumps, the pieces effervesce. This Is a peculiarity of glaolive-gree- cial Ice. Thousands of Americans sailed to Europe last year. Few of them were aware as they retired to their staterooms at night, of what precautions were being taken for their safety. They did not know that In the radio room on the upper deck of their ships, a message from the Ice patrol was coming In, telling about fog and Icebergs. Nor did they realize that their liner was reporting a coast guard cutter drifting on the Grand Banks, so that officers on the cutter could check to learn If the liners coarse was entirely clear of danger. The Titanic catastrophe In April, 1912, shocked the entire world, and a universal demand for a patrol gave birth to the International Ice patroL Immediately after the Titanic disaster the United States navy detailed two cruisers for guard duty until the last bergs disappeared from the steamer lanes In In the spring of 1913 late June. two revenue cutters were detailed to carry out the patrol.
