The Thames and Mersey liner John o’Gaunt, which came into port on Saturday, has had more than her share of adventure (his trip. At one time she was in great peril from the icebergs which encompassed her. The bergs were first fallen in with on the 7th April, in lat. 43deg. 3lmin. S., and long. 7deg. 23miu. E. At two o’clock on the morning of that date the look-out reported something like a large white cloud ahead, but which was speedily discovered to be an iceberg, and the snip narrowly escaped coming into contact with it. The bodies of ice were very large, and at noon there had been no fewer than 100 large icebergs passed. r i here were also quantities of drift ice floating about, and it was not until 5 p.m. that the ship, which during that time had run 135 miles, had passed the last of the icebergs. Thera had been no unusually cold weather previous to the falling in with the ice, and its sppearance Was therefore as unexpected as unwelcome. Two more large icebergs were sighted and passed on 25th April, but a wide berth was given them. —Melbourne Telegraph, May 14.
