The Cunard Line steamship SS Pannonia with Captain Robert Capper rescued 103 men, women, and children from the burning steamship Balmes in mid-ocean. Balmes was operated by Captain Juan Ruiz. The ship was towed to St. Georges harbor in Bermuda by the tugs Gladisfen and Powerful, convoyed by the Cunard liner Pannonia.
