Reward to grant gift to hero from Taboga rescue stirred navy talk
The Taboga wreck off Cape Morro Pearces near Panama drew navy officials into debate over allowing Capt. Edwin A. Anderson to accept a river silver service from Panama’s president and citizens. Despite his heroism guiding rescue efforts for 21 survivors, government policy bars accepting such gifts, prompting calls for a special regulation or act. The Yorktown crew faced harrowing surf and jungle ordeals during the rescue, drawing praise at Panama and stirring discussion among naval circles.

Call for More Lifeboats On Long Island Sound Excursion Vessels
A House merchant marine committee hearing heard Capt Nickerson of the New England Navigation Co warn that summer excursion boats on Long Island Sound lack sufficient lifeboats and space to add more safety gear. He noted regulations ban lifeboat overhauls within two minutes of danger and urged distinguishing excursion steamers from small ships. Representative Cline cited large companies recommending more lifeboats, citing British lifeboat records. The discussion touched on luxury amenities and safety tradeoffs as lawmakers review Titanic disaster lessons.
