The liner Manchester Producer has been drifting helplessly in mid-Atlantic for a fortnight. Four vessels successively attempted towage, but each time the hawser broke. A fifth vessel is standing by.

The schooner Useful, en route from Bideford to Glasgow, was driven ashore in Solway Firth. The. crew had a terrible experience. The sails were torn to shreds.
