A giant Iceberg, Its sleek sides glinting ghostlike in the fog, is riding the Swells in the North Atlantic steamship track southeast of the Grand Banks. Born of a glacier In the realm of ice on the western coast of Greenland, It had irifted, early, at; high speed for a berg, down the frigid Labrador cur- rent past the eastern shelf of the Banks. ' ' Sharp lookouts on the North German Lloyd liner Muenchen, passing the Banks on its last westward journey before it burned and sank at its North River pier, spied the menace and knew what it portended. It was the advance guard of those threats to navigation which each winter divert the North Atlantic . liners to more southerly courses on the edge of the Gulf stream as they plow their way to and from Europe Ice in the steamship lanes Is a menace at any time, but so early in the season as this, with the crews of the coast guard cutters whlcn diain-taithe international ice patrol still in their quarters at Boston, the threat Word of the sighting is of the iceberg, therefore, was flashed to the hydrographic office of the Navy department at Washington, says the New York Times. For a week experts in the vagaries of drifting ice had been keeping their attention upon the southern opening of Davis straits, between Labrador and Greenland. Keeping Track of Icebergs. To them the brief report from the Muenchens rado told volumes, it meant for one th'rg - that - the Ice patrol, maintained by three const guard cutters, relieving each other at Intervals on the Banks, must hasten to their stations and protect shipping. r Capt O. S. Kempflf, naval Commander H. G. Shonerd and A. B. McManus of the Maritime Safety division had had other reports and had noted them on charts. Two were sighted by the Hellig Olav line east of the Norwegian-Amerlcnof Newfoundland. Two others had been seen by lookouts of the' Ber Scandinavian-Amerl-cagensfjord of the line off the east shelf of the had sighted ice Banks. fields further north. Ice in the steam Mnen ship lanes, afl radioed by the anticithan earlier chen, six weeks pated, indicated this might turn out the worst year for ice in the North Atlantic since 1912, when the Titanic on Its maiden voyage to New York split her keel on a berg and carried 1,100 persons to their deaths. Information was flashed by Captain F C. Kempff to Rear Admiral commandant of the Coast Guard, and In turn to Capt. Stanley V. Parker of the cutter Tampa, lying at Boston, who was ordered to get under way and undertake a generarsurvey of ice conditions. After a quick appraisal .of conditions, near the steamobship lanes she Is to swing north to serve vhat ice masses may be on their way southward and if necessary take up an immediate patrol of the lanes. Steamship Courses Altered. Other measures were taken for assuring safety to thousands of persons traveling the North Atlantic. ,lhe steamship operators comprising the North Atlantic t aek agreement were immediately notified of the berg threat. In the. winter track,. the. most n two-edge- d. hydro-graphe- i n northerly of the three lanes between New York and Channel ports. This body of operators it represented hy the Cunard line and in this country by A. E. Wright, Its New York agent. Wright, on being advised, communicated the news to London. The steamship operators conferred, and forthwith the transatlantic liners shifted their courses to the next southerly steamship lane, 60 miles further south of Cape Race and 120 mlies further east, or approximately 150 miles further southeast from the tip of the banks. This action moved their courses close to the waters of the Gulf Stream, away from the dangers of bergs. From now on their courses past the fog of the banks will be determined by the daily radio reports from the Tampa and the Modoc, of the Coast Guard, engaged In the International Ice patrol. If the assumption of the experts of the hydrographic office are confirmed by the Tampas observations, the ice patrol will begin at once, and until nearly midsummer the three cutters will alternate at cruising off the edge of the ice and between the ice and the steamship lanes. r The Cycle. Similar Ice conditions in the Antarctic have been reported by Rear Admiral Byrd, whose aides found the worst pack in years north of the Ross sea. Conditions now being reported point to, but do not yet conclusively r prove, the existence of a cycle in the presence of heavy ice this early in the season on and north of the Grand Banks. The first year of which the hydrographic office has definite evidence of similar conditions was in the late winter of 1903. The next year such conditions existed was in 1912, when charts show the presence of a veritable nest of bergs southeast of the banks, into one of which the Titanic ripped its way. Again In 1921 heavy Ice appeared early in the season in northern steamship lanes. r The cycle appears to have been completed this year again. Although oceanographers who for . Nine-Yea- nine-yea- nine-yea- SUEZ CANAL SHAFT n Other-vessel- years have been studying the ice movements in the North Atlantic have so far failed to establish the factors which govern the surge and recession of the ice fields and the Icebergs from their nests In the cold regions to their graves In the warm waters of the Gull Stream, data from which these secrets may yet be wrung have been compiled since 1913 by the men who maintain the Ice patrol, and by the scientists In Washington who chart and corre late their findings. New knowledge of the currents which control the movements of the bergs was obtained from the chill wa ters north of Newfoundland by the Coast Guard expedition In the cutter Marion in the summer of 1928. Now each day new bits of knowledge are being flashed to the hydrographl office by 4,500 vessels of all nationalities. They report the presence and movements not only of bergs and Ice fields but also of every other threat to navigation. Where Icebergs Are Born. The scientists know now that the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, as they swing northeastward toward Eu rope, eddy past Greenland, a current swinging to the west around its south ern tip and coursing north along the bleak Greenland coast past the birthplace of the bergs In Disko' bay. The surge of the warm current blasts the bergs from the glaciers at the ocean edge and they swing out Into the stream. Apparently, the current continues northerly for some distance, but eventually It swings first to the west and then south again along the coast of Baffin land and Labrador, con tinuing southward off Newfoundland to the east shelf of the banks. There the course of the currents vary. Some years they eddy west around the tip ot Newfoundland and at other times their eddies are In the contrary direction Whatever their direction, however, the result Is the same. At some period of the late winter the bergs ride into the steamship lanes and eventually are dissipated, sometimes within four or five days. In the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. But from the day the bergs appear off Newfoundland they are tagged by the cutters of the Ice patrol and their movements watched so that ample warning of the movements may be vessels. sent to the near-bThe Ice patrol Is the outgrowth ot the demands for additional protection to sea voyagers subsequent to the Titanic tragedy. The cost of maintaining the patrol Is shared among the nations whose shipping uses the North Atlantic according to the tonnage operated over these routes. Each coast guard cutter maintains a patrol on its station, and then is relieved by Its successor. Clear of the banks and free of responsibility the cutters head Into Halifax for shore leave for their crews and to stock provisions against the next patrol. y Pain? Some folks take pain for granted.
