tho bluo bergs quickly whiten, some
times in less than 21 hours.
A typical discharge of Icebergs la

"First, a small piece fell from tho

roso 50 to 100 foot, reaching well
abovo tho surface of tho glaclor; It
then turned slowly ovor into tho fiord,
sending a largo fountain of water to a

"A great scries of ring waves spread
out for nearly ten minutes, causing a
heavy surf on tho coast to a dlstanco
of at least ono and one-half miles from

"Prior to this fall thero was almost
no floating Ice In front of tho glacier.
Flvo minutes nfter the dlschargo of
tho Iceberg thcro wns a ring of very
muddy water in which floated several
thousand Icebergs of small slzo and
bIx good-sized ones, all clean and frco
from dirt.
"Tho ring of tho lcoborgs kopt
spreading until lt reached both shores,
advancing half a milo In each direc

bergs, ono of which was moro than
100 feet long, roso at least 30 feet
