Ship Adrift With Engine Trouble
(New Zealand Press Association)
WELLINGTON, January 4.
A ship with 44 passengers is drifting with a broken-down engine about 500 miles north of the Cook Island group, the Air Department reported this afternoon.
The ship, the Bodmer, has asked to be taken in tow and a passenger liner, the Fleetbank, on its way from Brisbane to the United Kingdom, is steaming towards it from 150 miles away. The report said the sea was placid and there was no danger. The Bodmer is a British ship registered at Georgetown, Cayman Island, Jamaica.
The ship is a 124 ft vessel with a gross tonnage of 278.
