Endangered Gulf Storm Traps Steamer Off Florida Keys
A dangerous offshore reef ten miles south of Miami trapped the steamer Dixie and strained rescue efforts as 273 passengers faced peril. Wireless chief Deve Hodges relayed calls while veterans evacuated from the Florida Keys and officials struggled with submerged roads. The Dixie, en route from New Orleans to New York, joined a treacherous coastal route already scarred by recent ship disasters and a powerful storm bringing heavy rain, high winds, and rising seas along the coast. Two boys were rescued from Biscayne Bay palm trees as waves battered the area and coast guard vessels aided the perilous situation.
