Fogbound Bay Traffic Delays New York Harbor Cruisers
Acrid fog and smoke paralyzed ferry and ship movements in New York harbor yesterday. The Cunarder Mauretania lay anchored in Gravesend Bay amid reduced channel traffic while Hamburg American Deutschland also rode out the fog. Forecaster Gariot predicted rain next week but warned forests fires would continue to strain crops for days. The fog halted East River ferries and delayed several vessels at quarantine as a large queue of smaller steamers waited for visibility to lift.
