Fire on Rio Grande prompts dramatic at-sea rescue
Norfolk dispatch reports 197 passengers rescued from the burning Rio Grande after it caught fire 205 miles northwest of Diamond Shoals. The British steamer Swanmore, en route from Liverpool to Baltimore, saved the passengers and aided in firefighting. Strong northwest winds created choppy seas as lifeboats swapped between ships amid darkness, with disciplined conduct praised on both vessels. The Swanmore later stood by to assist until the fire was under control and passengers returned to the Rio Grande for continuing voyage.
