Freighted Frederick Drifted to Port After Fog
The steamship Frederick of the Merchants and Mariners Transportation Company, en route from Philadelphia to Savannah, was towed to safety by tugs Jacob Tauisen and Wo F McCannley after drifting in a fog off the Delaware Capes. A crosshead fracture worsened engine trouble, forcing prolonged anchorage and delayed progress. Captain Water signaled that the Frederick, once near Savannah, remained in need of repairs.
