RIVER BOATS ARE LATE
ARRIVING HERE TODAY
Delays Not Regarded Unusual Be-
cause of Heavy Fogs at This
Time Of Year.

River boats into Washington were
late in arrival today, but officers of the
boat lines protested that no anxiety
was felt.
The three largest boats that failed
to arrive for hours after their usual
time to dock were the Southland of
the Norfolk and Washington Company.
the Baltimore boat Three Rivers and
the Majestic of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac.
The Norfolk boat was due in at 1880
am, and shortly before PM. when in
duiries were made at the wharf re-
garding it's failure to arrive, Traffic
Manager W. H. Callahan said that it
was not unusual at this time Of the
year for the river boats to be held up
by the fog.
He stated that the Southland would
probably not be heard from until she
was reported from Alexandria. and that
If she had been forced to anchor in the
mouth of the river it would require a
number of hours before she would be
heard from.
The Baltimore boat, Three Rivers, was
due here at about am, but was not
reported from Alexandria until after 2
o'clock this afternoon. Traffic officials of
the lines said that on account Of the
heavy freight at this time Of the year 1t
was not infrequent for the boat to be
delayed, and that this, coupled with the
fog, was probably responsible for the long
delay.
The Majestic which was due in be-
tween 3 and am, did not arrive until
about noon.
