End of a Luxury Ship,—The French liner L’Atlantk|iie being towed to the breaking-up yards on the Clyde. A ship of -12.512 tons, she was being towed to Le Havre for refit in 1933 after two years in the France-South America service, when a fire broke out, damaging her beyond repair. Protracted lawsuits in the French Courts have ended in the judgment that she is a total loss, and the underwriters, mainly British, have sold the hull to the breakers.
