says that when he was in the inlet a
week ago the old glacier was sudden
ly convulsed from above and a great
break occurred about two miles back.
The huge mass began a tremendous
movement toward the waterfront. A
portion of the moving ice was stopped
on the plain that had been left baro
by the recession of the glacier's face,
but a very large part of it kept com
ing, and is even now resting on the
beach.
Capt. Recicich says that there was [
a terrific roar and- atmospheric dis

let. One of them is alive, but the j
other has been classified as "dead"by|
scientists.
