The Norwegian steamer Nils struck a submerged wreck and grounded near Craven Shoals. the French liner Chicago ran aground in the harbor but was afloat at high tide. The Leviathan, carrying U.S. troops, halted near Sandy Hook awaiting safe passage. One man was killed and six injured in the elevated train crash, when a motorman collided with a stopped train while assisting an unconscious passenger.
