Rescue Surgings Off Cape Hatteras and Kitty Hawk
Twenty four men from the Norwegian steamer Cibao were saved by Cape Hatteras and Creed Hill life savers as heavy seas battered the vessel off Cape Hatteras. In a separate peril, twenty four from the Greek steamer Paraguay were rescued north of Kitty Hawk amid a northeast gale sea. Four Paraguay crew members died as the tanker battled the storm sixty miles southeast of Cape Henry. The Paraguay, once American registered, had its flags and names shuffled before sailing to Seville. The Cibao broke up as rescues continued under extreme danger.
