Blazing Steamer Abandoned at Sea Near Halifax
Wireless reports say a steamer burned at sea off Halifax with fire spreading rapidly, crew abandoning ship. Initial IDs varied between the Donaldson liner Athenia and the Athanas, with later claims tying the vessel to the former German steamer Athanae now said to have been taken as a prize. The Tuscania responded to calls for help and stood by as the burning ship headed toward Halifax, but fate of crew and passengers remains unconfirmed. Aircraft and sea traffic records offered conflicting details about the vessel’s identity and origin.
