The new oil-tank iteamer Beacon Light bad a narrow escape from sinking after collision with s mammoth iceberg of! I ha (ire at Banks lilt Wtdnesday. A calamity was only averted through the presence of mind ol Captain ELott. 'When abe struck the icy derelict, tons ol ics crashed upon her decks, stuttering her starboard bow and starting several plates. Tbe iteamer oame to anchor off Liberty Island yester- day leaking vrv fin. and htr steam pumps bad to be kept in conitant motion. A New York World reporter boarded her and Male Chase gave him in account of ibe collision. Tbe Beacon Light is a recent addition to the rapidly growing t'.ti-t of oil tanki run- ning to thia port, tine sailed from New- castle seventeen dayi ago in ballast, carry- ing 3.800 toni of water ballast. She is built to carry 4,000 tons of oil. Tbe new steamer had an uneventful voy- age np to the time ibe struck tbe Great Banks. Then ihe began to encounter dense fogs. On the ni^bt ot May 13th it became ao foggy tbat Cspt. Elliots decided to stay on deck. The ileamsr was then in latitude 42.55, longitude 48.18, or about 540 mile* eait of Nova Bcolia. At midnight Tuesday both Capt. Elliott and Mate Chase were on tbe tlying bridge trying to peer through tbe dense log. Tbe lookout was at hia post and the steamer was gong along at half speed. Tbe air became somewhat colder, telling Capt. Elliott that he was in Ibe vicinity ol icebergs. It was jriot the beginning ol tbe middle watch, or a, lulls alter \- o clock Wednes- day morning, when the lookout ahoated : There'* a light ahead !" Boaroely had tbe echoes of nil words oeated when an appalling sigbt was discloaed. "My God!" ezdaimed the captain, " there is aa iceberg." Straight ahead, leu than fifty feet dulant, wai a towering double-peaked icy moniter. Tbe electric search -light on tne ibip's foremast shone brilliantly on the mammoth and revealed inn ail us *wluJ grindeor to Cspt. Elliott and his terrified crew. It was a moment of luspenie and anxiety. To strike tbe berg bead on meant destruc- tion to tbt> Beacon Light. Courageous) young Capt. Elliott torn to Ibe emergency and by his celomeai laved tbe ibip and the lives of hii crew. Helm bard to itarboard . reverie en- gine* and full ipeed astern I " was the quick command. Uis promptness averted a calamity. The good ship obeyed ner helm, swung to part, bat not enoagh to clear tbe berg, iler starboard bow caught one of tbe berg i projections. The ibock was something lerntc. It 3eeme to shatter the big towering mass ol ice all to pieces. Ill lofty crests, which t jwered tar above ihe decks of tbe Beacon Light, showered tona of massive cakei upon the ship's decks, crashing m bvr Heel bow and making such a terrible t oise that the crew rushed on deck in a frtujiy ct deepair. They thought it their death knell. 1 hen tbe Bbip keeled away over and fell on her beam eniie. Ibis was >|ai jkly fol- lowed by a bumping, crashing aoand, as though >he txrg had got underneath the .ship. When tfie uiats of ice tell big cakes Hank tar down into the sea and then came to ths surface again, sinking the ship jam amidships. Thepoandirg wsa dona with such force that the oaken ol ice whioh 01 uuder Ihe ship fairly lifted ihe big steel veusul ten feel out ol ihe scs. Then, to make matters worse, tberu wan a eudden onfuied sound at though the boilers hd burst. This, however, was only the escape of air from some cf tbe tanks. In remarkable contrast with the bravery ol Capt. Elliott was the conduct ol Cm crew. Ilia tiremen and cooks becaiuu wild with frigbt. They were almost uncon- trollable. They though! tbat their vessel waiKoiugto ciuk. Loudly they cried for Capt. Kllioit to clear away the boats. To allay their I eara and keep them ;-n,t the Captain did ao, bat hia coolueii and hia appeals for them to stand by him at last brought the ore* to their iecies. After getting the boats lootenod and ready lor use in case of necessity tbe crew went to work aud began to clear away the ice, which was 1> n, gin heaps about the deck. Water wan found entering leveral ot the j tanks from the bottom and big perpendio- ' ular support beama were s>lmcii bent in two by the levere poumimg liicb the ship received from the ice which got under beraa he struck the beri;. Alter starting the ship continued her vojage. The lollowing day she sighted nvenl very large bergr, but they were not close enough to cause any alarm. The berg whioh they collided with was about onannudred lent high and over six hundred leet long. Cipt. Elliott sayi it was very solid aud not iu the least toney- combed. "It was," he slid, "the grandest aigbt I ever beheld to see the big avalanche of ice drifting astern ae we grazed il. As it uame out ol tha tug before we oould distinctly seeil, it looked like a cloud, bat when it revealed iisell I wsi almost trauab'xed wilh awe and Iiighl. Our elicirio March light stone upon it, which added tj ill glistening grandeur. We law it just iu time. 11 ad uiy ship bien travelling very rapidly I dread lu think what would have been tbu const ijuences. As ii was, we were only going at hall speed, which enabled us to ilop our headway before we crashed into it. " II tbe ship had itrook tbe berg head on ibe would have been shattered to pieces without a doubt. The awful luapense wbioh occurred between the time I sighted the berg aud when she struck was some- thing terrible. It is an experience I never want again. Our ssospe from deitruction wai aloioil providentiil." The Beaouu Light will be put on the dry dock. It ia thought that tier bottom is damaged very lerioDsly. The Beacon % Light registers 2,800 tons.
