Devonian Rescues Arcturus Crew In Gale Off Halifax
In a perilous voyage the Devonian towed a drifting Arcturus through heavy seas and fog. Captain Muir and Second Officer Stevenson led brave crews to save ten men from the bark, amid numb hands and brutal spray, before returning to the Devonian. The Arcturus crew were later rescued by the Mohican and landed in Scotland. If salvage had succeeded, Devonian crew would have earned a substantial reward.
