The explosive-carryng Danish cargo ship Horne Strand (right) is towed safely to Falmouth, in Cornwall, England, by the Dutch tugboat Typhoon yesterday. The ship, with 400 tonnes of explosives, had drifted unmanned in the English Channel since Wednesday after the crew abandoned her because of fire. The fire eventually burnt itself out French and British warships had stood guard while shipping experts considered what to do with the vessel.
