1915 Excerpt: ...and stood to northwestward. At 8.45 a. m. received
radiogram from Seneca reporting her position. Stood WNW. for her.
May 1 To May 15--Second Cruise "seneca." The Sentca left Halifax on
May 1, proceeding to the Grand Banks, and relieved the Miami of
ice-patrol duty on May 3 at 6 p. m. in lat. 43 41' N., long. 53 37'
W. May 4 a thick fog set in and Seneca anchored on Grand Bank with
kedge anchor. Received a report from S. S. Neches that she had
sighted a piece of timber 126 feet long and 4 feet thick in lat. 41
56' N., long. 49 40' W.; thinking this might be the keel of a
derelict, bottom up, I decided to search for it. In running to the
southward we passed close to a dangerous growler in lat. 43 28' N.,

report from the S. S. Noordam that she had sighted at 5 p. m. a
large berg, 170 feet high and 400 feet long, in lat. 42 19' K,

arriving there early the next morning, only to encounter a dense

following night. On the 10th the fog lifted and a berg was reported
to the NW. of our position, but we soon discovered that the
supposed berg was a bark under full sail. We spoke her and found
her to be the British bark Beeswing, bound for St. John, New
Brunswick, and that she had been in that vicinity for several days.
It is probable that she was mistaken for an iceberg by the Noordam.
I then set the course of the Seneca to make East, true, in lat. 42
30' N., and we held this parallel during the 10th and 11th,
drifting with steam at throttle during the night. It was foggy most
of the time and our advance was slow. On the 12th we sighted an
iceberg in lat. 42 45' N., long....
