Perilous Condition of the Pavonia and Other Calamities
Boston reports that the steamer Pavonia struck rocks in a fog near Bass Rock after mistaking its position and the crew, including officers, showed uncertainty. A wide range of distant accidents and crimes follow, from mine tragedies in Wilkesbarre to a Washington taxidermist death, knife fights in New Jersey, a landmark stockman’s death, and a major Adams Express robbery tally rising toward 100000 dollars.
