Bit of Lack for Vltrllant. ' The first part of the run to Daunt's Hock on the first round- was clear before the wind. Both yachts had their spin nakers out to starboard.

No Lives Lost and the Ship Hacapes Serious Injury. (Dy Associated Tress ) ST. JOHN'S, N.l. July 2.-The a eim ship Miranda, of the Red Cross line, having on board Dr. Cook's Arctlu ex pedition, which left New Vork on July 7, has been in collision with an Iceberg. No lives were lost. The Miranda put Into Cape Charles Harbor, Labrador, where temporary re pairs were effected. She then icturned to this port, reach ing here ttafely thlo morning. The steam ship will be thoroughly overhnul.d at thin port, and will probably proceed to Greenland In a few days. All on bu-d are well. The collision occuried at 8.30 A. M July 17 during a dense fog, and when the Miranda was about five miles north west ot Helle Isle. The Miranda was then running at a good rate of speed, and It was not believed that there was any Ice In her vicinity. In fact, the Iceberg was not sighted until the steamer was close upon it. The moment the berg wi-s sighted the engines were promptly re versed and the sh.p was turned head on to the obstacle In order to avoid a glancing collision, which might have proved most destructive. Owing to this prompt handling of the helm, the Miranda struck squarely with her stem and, the engines having con siderably checked her headway, not much damage was done. Two of tho steamer's bow plates were cracked, I the forward raits were carried away and the hawse-pipe on the starboard ' side was so damaged as to render the starboard anchor useless. Happily, no damage was done below the water-line, and the steamer was able, after clearing away wreckage, to head for Cape Charles Harbor, Labra dor, where temporary repairs were ef fected. At Cape Charles, the Labrador exploring party of the University of Pennsylvania was landed, and the steamer put back here for more com plete repairs, which will be made as promptly as possible. It Is expected that only a few days will elapse before the Miranda will be able to resume her Journey to the Arctic regions. One of the officers of the Miranda, In an Interview, sAld: " The collision occurred during a fog, and was totally unexpected, as there were no Indications of Ice In our neigh borhood. Most of the passengers were at breakfast, or getting ready for that meal, while a number were taking an early morning walk on deck. When the lookout sang out that there was Ice ahead, the engines were promptly re versed, and we soon saw an Iceberg ahead of us and likely to strike us on the bow. "The helm was so turned as to take the Impact on our stem, thus avoiding what would otherwise possibly have been a more dangerous crash. As It was, the Miranda's bow was not much dam aged, although two plates were cracked and a quantity of Ice fell on board. "Naturally there was some alarm among the passengers, who rushed on deck as soon as the shock was felt. 1 But we soon succeeded ln reassuring them, and when the wells were sounded, ( It was found that the steamer was making no water and that there was no danger. "The passengers acled with consider able courage, under the circumstances, the leaders of the expedition assisting us In every way In calming those who were most alarmed. "We expect to have all damages re paired within a few dai and to be able to resume our trip." The Miranda, which left New Tork on the afternoon of July 7 last. Is an Iron screw steamer of 1,158 tons, and belongs to the Red Cross line. She was chartered for two and a half months by Dr. Fred erick A. Cook the well-known Arctic explorer and ex-surgeon or the Peary expedition, and who organised the pres ent expedition as well for pleasure as for scientific research. The Miranda, which Is of powerful build and said to be able to withstand any ordinary hug between two Icebergs, Is navigated by Capt. Farrell. In addition to Dr. Cook, the following scientists were on board: Prof. William H. Brewer, of Tale; Prof. O. F. Wright, of Oberlln College; Prof. B. C. Jlllson, of Pittsburg, geolo gist; L. L. Dyke, of Kanxas State Uni versity, zoologist 1 Samuel P. Orth and B. F. Staunton, of Oberlln, assistant zoologists; E. A. Mcllhenny, of Loulel ana, ornithologist; Prof, Ellas P, Lyon, an hourT I know you have a boat, for I think I've heard you mention the Lively Tolly now and then." And he grinned from ear to ear. When the Liely Polly was afloat I never talked of anything else. Her beauties, her Htyle, her speed, the burden of my aong forever used to be, and I've no doubt I bored people to death, for I know It bores me to hear other men talk about their yachts. "Hem!" said I, not vety well pleased, for a piMlco.it aboard Is a thing I can't nblrte.
