DR. SHANNON LOST FRIEND ON TITANIC
Daily Home News
Dr. Shannon became acquainted with Phillips while on his trip to Europe on the Minnehaha, of the American Transport Line, which was wrecked off Scilly Islands nearly two years ago. The local physician spent much of his time on board in the wireless room, and he and the operator became good friends. Phillips told Dr. Shannon at the time of the Minnehaha’s wreck that that was the second wreck he had been in and that the third would probably finish him.
Dr. Shannon had expected to have gone last month to Europe on business and would have returned on the Titanic.
