Say SeaIby Was Not on Suevfc
Friends in this city Of Captain Seal
by say that there must have been a
mistake in the press dispatches nam
ing Captain SealbY as master of the
stranded White Star liner Suevic. Seal
by had been for long time master of
the Suevic. but was transferred some
time ago TO the Canopic, which plies
between Boston and the Mediterranean.
The Suevic is now commanded by Cap
tain Ditchburn. The error probably
arose from the fact that Sealby's name
might still have appeared in the ship
ping registers as master OF the Suevic.
