Wonderful Iceberg.

One of the biggest Icebergs seen for years near ocean liners is told about by the skipper of the Oravla. He.saw it in the south Atlantic passing Falkland islands. “The night was cloudy. There was a cutting wind and the temperature of the sea was dotfir to 88 degrees when the great iceberg came into view—a huge mass five hundred feet high, partly corered with mist, a long, shelving shore of ice, with the sea breakinglopon it as upon a wide, desolate beach. When the moon appeared the sight was one never to be forgotten. We gazed upon what seemed to be a floating city of loe as large as Boston, with its towers, its temples. Its tapering monuments shooting up in fantastic architecture shimmering in the moonlight like polished silver. It la the lot of few to see such a sight.’’ New York Press.
