ALLAN LINER ASHORE. PASSENGERS SAFELY LANDED.
By Telegraph. — Press Association. — Copyright. LONDON, 7th September. The Allan Line steamer Laurentian 4522 tons gross, is ashore at Trcpassey Bay, a port of Newfoundland, eightyone miles south-west of St. John's. All the passengers have been landed. The stranding of the Laurentian recalls the fact that the owners of the Allan Line have undergone the same suspense as the owners of the Waratah are now undergoing. On the 11th j- ebruary, 1902, the Allan liner Huronian, a large cargo steamer, sailed from Glasgow for St. John, New Brunswick. From the date of sailing nothing further was heard of her until a bottle was found by a gentleman whilst walking along the sea shoift at Castlerock, County Derry, Ireland, in the early part nf 1907. The bottle contained the following message : — "Huronian sinking fast. Top heavy. One side under water. Good-bye, mother and sister. — Charles M'Fall, greaser." As in tha case of the Waratah, the Admiralty despatched a cruiser (the Thames) in search, but she returned to Queenstown on 11th May with no news.
