Original Toronto Star caption: Just short of the breakwall; the 10;0000-ton freighter George M. Carl is grounded near the mouth of the Humber; having missed the entrance to Toronto Harbor by four miles. No one was injured when the 604-foot ship missed a turn and ran aground last night - but it has more troubles now: tugs trying to free it fouled a line around the ship's propeller; and a diver will have to go down to cut it loose.
