STEAMER BUNK BY AN ICEBERG.
Crew Pat Out in Life-boats and Are Rescued, by
the Steamer Circassia
The steamer Circassia, of the Anchor Line,
had a story to tell at Quar-
antine, New York, of picking up a captain
and bis twenty-two men on the hich seas
from three open boats.
It was Captain Burnside and the crew of
the British tramp steamer Mo davia, bound
from Cardiff for Halifax, with coal, who
ware rescued by the timely appronch of the
Cireassia. Duriag the dense fog that hung
over the sea on last Wednesday the Moldavia
ran ivto a huge iceberg and stove her port
bows so badly that she began to fil rapidly,
Captain Burnside ordered the lifeboats pro-
visloned and cleared away, and the steamer
was abapdoned, and shortly afterward
sank.
The lifeboats kept together and watched
for a passing vessel, and thirty-five hours
later the Circassia's lights were seen ape
proaching. Blue lights wers #% once shown
by the occupants of the life-boate, and the
Circassia altered hor course. The davit
tackles were lowered and ss each life-boat
approached she was hooked on and raised
bodily, occupants and all, to the deck of the
Circassia
