Shift of the wind saves steamship off Chebucto rocks
A favorable wind shift last night saved the Belgian relief steamer from wreck off Chebucto. A convoy including the Sykaeciia, the Canadian coast steamer Lady Laurier, and United States revenue cutter Kanawha struggled to assist after a line parted and the vessel drifted toward rocks. The wind swung southwest, enabling the ship to anchor safely offshore.
