On April 12 fog set in accompanied by a fresh to strong southwest 

 wind. During the period of fog we remained to the southward of the 

 pack ice. Tliis fog, however, was of but short duration, as the 

 weather cleared by midnight. 



On the 14th of April we scouted westward from latitude 48° 45' N., 

 longitude 51° 57' W. to Cape Bonavista, then southward to latitude 

 45° 12' N. and then 30 miles offshore. Two growlers were sighted 

 10 miles east of Cape Bonavista. 



Memorial services were held at noon on the 14th day of April in 

 latitude 48° 25' N., longitude 52° 08' W. in memory of the nineteenth 

 anniversary of the Titanic disaster. 



At 5.30 p. m. the following was received from steamship Drottning- 

 holm: "Passed large berg latitude 47° 02' N., longitude 52° 39' W." 

 We proceeded immediately to the reported position of the berg. 



At 8.15 a. m., April 15, we sighted the reported berg and some ice 

 pieces in latitude 46° 55' N., longitude 52° 45' W. The berg had 

 three pinnacles, the tallest being estimated at 120 feet high. It was 

 about 300 feet long on the water line. This being the only ice 

 sighted or reported south of latitude 48° N., the General Greene 

 hove to in the vicinity. Probably the General Greene had passed this 

 berg without sighting it because of darkness during the night that 

 she was proceeding northward from St. John's. 



We drifted with this berg from the 15th to the 22d of April. At 

 noon on the 21st it grounded in 24 fathoms of water in latitude 46° 

 36' N., longitude 52° 53' W., within sight of Cape Race. The drift 

 of the iceberg is plotted in Figure 13 and is described later in the 

 section on ice observation. 



At 9.15 p. m. on the 20th of April, the Canadian steamship Philip T. 

 Dodge bound for London, standing in close, was warned oft' by means 

 of playing our searchlight on the berg. The master of the vessel 

 thanked us for the service rendered. At 11.45 p. m. the same day 

 the Norwegian steamship Terra Nova was sighted standing in from 

 the eastward with masthead and range lights in line and heading 

 directly between two pinnacles of the berg. Upon again playing the 

 searchlight on the berg, this steamer hauled off almost at a right 

 angle to her original course. She then came up slowly and spoke 

 to us, inquiring about ice conditions on the south coast of Newfound- 

 land, being bound for Placentia. 



The berg calved several times between the time of grounding and 

 sunset. After having informed Cape Race radio station of our inten- 

 tion, we stood in for St. John's, Newfoundland, at 9.15 a. m., April 22, 

 for fuel, water, and provisions. At 4.20 p. m., April 22, we docked at 

 St. John's. 



During this patrol ice information was broadcast to shipping twice 

 daily, at 8 a. m. and 8 p. m. plus three zone time. The surface
