CRADLED IN ICE.
A Schooner’« Th rillin g Gam « of See-
•aw In A ratio Waters.
The schooner Elwood, while on e
fishing cruise in northern waters,
once had a strange adventure with
an iceberg. It appears that the mas­
ter sighted the iceberg, an immense
one, apparently fast on a reef just
off Hoonia. It seemed a lucky en­
counter, .inasmuch as the captain
figured that he might fill his hold
with ice to preserve the fish he ex­
pected to catch.
When the schooner was within s
few yards of the iceberg the anchor
was dropped. The vessel swung
around until she came alongside, to
which she was made fast by lines.
The tide was at the full. A gang­
plank was thrown over the ledge in
the ice, and the men began breaking
off chunks of the ice and hoisting
them aboard. All went well untU
evening, when thirty tons of ice
had been stowed in the hold.
Meanwhile the falling tide had
caused the iceberg to settle upon
the reef and to tip toward the side
opposite the vessel. The gangplank
rose in the air and had to be made
fast to a ledge nearer the water to
keep it horizontal.
The master, suspecting that all
was not going to be well, ordered
the crew to make sail. Before they
could man the halyards the iceberg,
with a grinding roar, rolled off the
reef and started to turn over.
A jagged spur of ice, which had
formed the bottom of the iceberg,
arose on the starboard side o f the
vessel and beneath it. The ice
struck the keel, and the vessel, lift­
ed out of the water, rested in an ice
cradle. The captain ordered his
men to get into the boats and out
of harm’s way. Cutting the lines
that held the schooner to the ice­
berg, the men pulled to a safe dis-
tance and waited.
The anchor held fast, and the
schooner tugged at the chain. The
tide dropped a few more inches, the
iceberg careened still farther, and
the Elwood rose higher. This
proved the schooner’s salvation. -
The tendency of the iceberg to
roll over and raise the vessel
brought such an enormous strain
upon the anchor chain that some-
thing had to give way. Something
gjg> and, to the joy of the fisher­
men, it was not the anchor or the
chain.
The iceberg lurched, and the
schooner was seen to slide several
feet along the crevice in which it
rested. There was another lurch
and another slide. Then the vessel
reached a downward grade and the
next instant shot oil the iceberg
end into the sea, bow on, like a
