ATLANTIC LINER BEACHED
AFTER STRIKING ROOK OFF IRISH COAST. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, May 24. • The Ivemia, a steamer of 14,067 tons, belonging to the Cunard Line, struck Daunt’s Rock, south-east of Kinsale, during a fog, and was beached in Queenstown harbour. There is a large hole in her bottom. When she struck her watertight bulkheads were instantaneously closed, and this confined the water to the forepart, where there is now a depth of twenty-five feet. There was no panic, the officers reassuring the 72S passengers on board.
