Men Clung to Barges in Sea Believed Safe
Sixteen men who spent the night clinging to wave swept barges a mile and a half from the Highland Light coast guard station near Boston were believed safe at dawn. The high seas died down and guards predicted tugs could tow the barges. The barges had broken away from their tug, and a pursuing line kept them from shore. They were en route from Portland, Maine to Philadelphia.
