Survivors of German liner Columbus reach New York
The Tuscaloosa picked up 570 men and nine women as the Columbus burned and drifted after leaving Vera Cruz last week. A British destroyer stood by, and discrepancies in passenger counts spark fear of unrecovered lives. Officials quoted 630 aboard from Mexico City reports, with 51 missing if Tuscaloosa figures are right. The 15 year old liner, once among the largest, faced its demise at sea. Mrs Crag and Mrs Collins visited Erie, while D A Hillstrom and son left for an industry meeting in Buffalo, N Y.
