Inquiry Ordered Into Sims Charges Amid Sea Passenger Peril
Wireless reports from the navy yard say the White Star liner Cedric stands by the disabled American transport Powhatan with 471 passengers aboard. The Cedric seeks a transfer to move them to safety as the Hardie stands by to tow to port. Passengers suffer heat loss and water problems as ships maneuver off the Southern New Jersey coast. Crews work to transfer people to Celtic if possible while other vessels aid or assist.
