Steers on Ship Fed Sharks After Stampede Off Havana
Hundreds of steers on the Ameri gam steamship St. Charles stampeded breaking corrals and plunging overboard near Havana. About 190 carcasses were found in the hold and officers ordered the ship to sea to dump them. The crew were terrified and the ship barely avoided drifting onto rocks. Meanwhile clothespin production would shift to four inch lumber to save millions of feet.
