"Wo estimated we would make it in from 70 to 80 hours," he said. "We made it in 76. When we left we had a strong wind behind us, and we covered the first 800 miles in about eight hours. When we circled over New York we could plainly see the three times, glided ger.'.ly to the. crowds on Broadway waving to us as ground, and ten minutco later was we passed, but we could not hear them housed in the dirigible shed.

OCEAN um STRIKES ICEBERC Grampain Saved By Prompt Ac tion of Her Captain. A despatch from St. John's, Nfld. says; â€" Two men were killed a.id twc injured when the Allan liner Gram- pian, Montreal for Liverpool, collided with an iceberg off Cape Race on Wed- nesday night. The killed and injured were mem- bers of the crew, who were asleep in the bow of the ship when she struck. Virtually all the passengers were awake, but although there were more than 500 women and children aboard, there was little excitement and no panic. That the Grampian did not sutfer the fate of the Titanic, with consider- able loss of life, is believed to have been due to the decision of the Captain to strike the iceberg bow on instead of taking a glancing blow on the side. The 'berg, which was very large, was encountered 45 miles off Cape Race, in the early evening. When it was sighted through the fog it was too late to clear it, although the ship was proceeding slowly. The Captain said that he realized that "a glancing blow which would tear through the ship's side would F.ink her. The course was changed and the Grampian struck t'ne ice mountain squarely head on. The en- tire forepart of the ship was smash- ed in above the water line, the stem being driven back nearly 40 feet. The vessel was undamaged below" th« water I'ne, however, as the portion of the 'berg which she struck proved to be an overhanging shelf. The two men killed were stewards. Their bodies were caught in th« mass of wreckage of the bow and had not been recovered when th« Grampian came here. The stewar<i and stoker who were injured b] pieces of wood torn loose in the col' lision were not seriously hurt. ,I,rT «in\n ;„ "^Xvr " J- rt 'springers, $90 to $160; li-ht ewes, $10 (larij, S1O..50 to $10.7o, m jute bags, .' ^.r „' nino-c tn^ntleir. „r>Vlncr Toronto and Montreal, prompt ship niont.
