Naufragio nelle acque greche del mar Ionio, sulla nuova rotta per l'Italia, a circa 80 miglia a ovest dell'isola di Cefalonia. A soccorrere il gommone affondato è stato l'equipaggio del mercantile turco Mehmet Dadayli 1, che ha salvato gli 11 superstiti e recuperato 4 cadaveri nello stesso tratto di mare. All'appello mancano però i nomi di altri 15 passeggeri dati per dispersi in mare. I dettagli sulla stampa greca.
