Show "Cursed" Ship Wilmington, N. C. After a series se-ries of mishaps, which started when the Isthmian Line freighter Steel Surveyor took on a white python in the Far East, the crew breathed a sigh of relief when the snake was unloaded here. The "bad luck" consisted of riots in Singapore, floods in India, the loss of a tiger, which jumped overboard into the Red Sea. The ship was chased into a strike-bound port by a hurricane and, as the animals aboard the ship were being unloaded un-loaded here, a cargo boom gave way and plunged toward a crowd of onlookers. |
