LINER DISABLED
RUDDER SMASHED BY TERRIFIC SEA TOWED TO FALMOUTH BY THREE TUGS London, December IS. After a thrilling battle with gales, three Dutch tugs have brought the disabled liner Jamaica Settler to Falmouth. A terrific sea like a tidal tvave smashed the steamer’s rudder in midAtlantic. She drifted at the mercy of the storm for a week, after which a tug picked up her S.O.S. and took the liner in tow. The hawsers parted and the tug was driven off 150 miles. A second tug arrived and in a fortnight s voyage the hawsers snapped in successive hurricanes. A third tug was dispatched, and towed the Jamaica Settler a. thousand mile®.
