“SUICIDE” OF SHIP
Avoiding Customary Fate London, April 26. With flags flying and screws revolving at full speed, the Pacific Steam Navigation’s 9000-ton liner Orita, for thirty years a popular ship on the South American run, will gloriously commit suicide by dashing on the beach at Morecambe in order to break herself up before selling to the shipbreakers, thus avoiding the usual fate of disused liners waiting in “Rotten Row” for the melancholy end.
