Adrift for seven days in Gulf storm tale of Gussie crew
A New Orleans Times report recalls the shipwreck ordeal of the steamship Gussie bound for New Orleans. Captain Hill and five others drifted seven days without food or water after a shaft broke. They survived by hope, improvised signals, and rationed water, finally towed into Southwest Pass by the tug Bio Grande. The narrative links the survivors’ harrowing experience with a distant tale of a fisherman's daughter who lights a candle to guide ships into harbor, a beacon that saved many lives for fifty years.
