Courageous Karema Crew Survive Fog Collision At Sea
The British freighter Karema, bound for the Far East with steel girders to Siberia, survived a fog drenched collision with the Regulus about 25 miles east of Nantucket. Captain H. P. Jackson and chief engineer James Fotheringham led an improvised pump effort, patched a hull breach with wood and canvas, and kept the ship afloat while lifeboats were readied but not used. Light fog later eased but the Regulus was not seen again. Karema pressed on toward Gibraltar with the crew determined to keep the vessel afloat.

In Charleville on July 15, Renoux, a mechanic formerly living in Argentina, says he knew Archduke John Salvator of Austria as John Orth. He alleges Orth did not sail in 1890 on the Santa Margaretta, instead bought an estate near Las Perdices and warned that anyone who spoke of Orth was dead. Renoux claims to have learned Orth's true identity years later. The Archduke vanished about twenty years prior, with the Austrian High Chamberlain's Court recently stating it would deem him dead unless proof appeared within six months.
