Steamer Wilhelmina Stranded Off Cape Cod Amid Ice

The freighter Wilhelmina is stranded off Pamet River mouth in Cape Cod Bay with 50 mile per hour northwest seas driving ice and pounding hull. Captain Irwin Collins and six Pamet River life-saving crewmen are aboard with Captain McNiege and his men, unable to leave as high waves trap the vessel. Revenue cutter Gresham and tug Mary Arnold could not reach within a mile due to heavy seas and ice, then returned to Provincetown Harbor. The ship, carrying phosphate to Weymouth from Boca Grande and heading to Newport News to load coal, is feared to break apart by morning. Snowstorm further hampers rescue and salvage efforts.
