A tug from the Azores, the Iersezee, was to tow the 492-foot ship into St. John’s Newfoundland by Friday. The Europa-Canada Line said passengers would proceed to New York by other transport once the ship is reached. The Coast Guard noted calm seas, light winds, and foggy visibility as auxiliary power kept lights and cooking running aboard the vessel. Ground transport and chartered airliners were arranged for those preferring land travel.
