Show An tirlicrc ADO l'vi-t High. There was one cabin passenger aboard tho Lcyland line steamship Columbian, which arrived yesterday from Liverpool, says tin New Yjrk Sun, and he nilcht .have seen off tho banks on Tuesday morning, If he had been an early rirr, something that very few passengers of any sort got a glimpse of at son, a colossal Icoborg. computed by Third Ollieer Roberts to be GOO feet high. Very few bergs mora than half that height have been seen In the North Atlantic. The lookout In thc crow's nest saw the big berg first and signalled by two hells to the orldge that there was a "ship on the starboard bow." He did sot find out until later that the vision wns a berg. T.ho Columbian passed eight miles to the south n the Ice mass, which was 6haped like a sugnr loaf. The berg ran the temperature of the air dowh to 48 degrees and that o; thc w cr down to 45 degrees. The officers of the Columbian think that the bcrt, was about an eighth of a mile long. |
