Eighteen Gloucester fishermen aboard the Nereid survived a perilous night when in thick weather she neared Cashle's Ledge off Cap Sable. The vessel held eight knots toward home from Brown Bank before a northeast gale drove it into peril, with the foremast nearly taken by a jibe as breakers thundered within thirty yards. Soundings later showed forty fathoms and hope returned for safe Boston arrival. The crew urged warning signals and ledge warnings for vessels in fog or storms.
