Fisher fleet hampered by gale. fish famine feared in Boston area
A northwesterly gale has left the New England coast bare of new arrivals at the fish piers. Vessels from T wharf to Georges grounds faced rough seas and freezing weather, forcing many crews to shelter at Provincetown and along the Say. If conditions persist, dealers on I wharf may see no ground fish today and a fish famine looms, risking losses to the trade. Two belated liners arrived, Leyland Iberian from Manchester and Wilson Toronto from Hull, each 14 days at sea, while the Exgda from Progreso carried sisal fibre. Several ocean tugs loaded with coal were forced back for shelter off Chatham and Shovelful, awaiting better weather. Foreign ships due include the Red Star Marquette from Antwerp and Hylas from River Plate ports, with Hylas making its first port call. The Leyland fleet plans to add Median and Memphian to the Boston–Liverpool service.
