DRIVEN AGAINST QUAY
ANTARCTIC SHIP DISCOVERY. SNAPPING OF TOW ROPE. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph— Copyright) , LONDON, August 1. The Discovery left East India dock for Cardiff in driving rain and a half gale. She was just clear of the dockhead when the tow rope snapped, and the current drove the Discovery against the quay, , There was a sound of rending timbers, but the ship was unscathed. Further trouble was averted by dropping the anchor till a new tow rope was fixed, after which she steamed dowq in the wake of a big liner, to which she presented a striking contrast.—Australian Press Association. .
