City of Rio de Janeiro Steamship Missing Off Yokohama
The Pacific Mail liner City of Rio de Janeiro left San Francisco February 6 with 156 on board including cabin passengers and steerage, bound for the Orient. No word has reached New York since, fueling speculation she and her cargo valued near $1 million may have bypassed Yokohama due to bad weather. Company officials remain hopeful, noting heavy seas between Hawaii and Japan and the ship's strong construction and sailing capabilities.
