Vessels Escape Gales After Busy Harbor Sail Out
After a week of northeasterly gales a fleet of about one hundred weather bound ships, including forty fishing schooners, set out from Boston harbor under lighter winds. The British cable steamer Minla heads for Newfoundland while other steamers and sailing vessels resume voyage. The Shafner Brothers schooner ran aground near George's Island but was hauled free by Pilot boat Columbia No 2 and towed to quarantine by the Dexter. The incident highlights pilotage costs and insurance concerns for captains who avoid pilots. The London Board of Trade committee reports on possible light screening reforms. The Cumberland from St John and Maine ports reached Boston as the first of Internationals line ships since last Monday.
