Abandon Hope for Ship Marowijne Nears Destruction
New Orleans reports doubt that the steamer Marowijne, overdue since August 12 from Belize to New Orleans, survived a hurricane. Officials and marine men say the vessel with 3 passengers and 65 crew likely foundered after radio contact ceased as the hurricane veered into the Yucatan channel, placing it in the storm’s narrow passage. Captain Whidden had last heard from the ship before the radio operator failed to respond.
