Iceberg sinks schooner with fishers off Partridge Point
The Ross, Henry Gosse master, from Spaniards Bay to Labrador sank after hitting an iceberg in fog. Of 55 aboard, 43 clung to the floe while 12 perished. The Irene rescued castaways, bringing 27 men, 9 women, and 7 children to Coachman's Cove. Arrangements are made to return them home. Newfoundland ships ferry many to Labrador, often with overloading boats making rescues difficult.
