LINER AGROUND
PASSENGERS TAKEN OFF.
VESSEL MAY BE REFLOATED.
(British Official Wireless.) Rugby, August 17. The owners of the Anchor Donaldson 13,475-ton liner Letitia, stranded on a sandbank in Belfast Loch, state that 260 passengers from Montreal destined for Belfast, Liverpool and Glasgow, were taken off by tender shortly before noon to-day and are proceeding by ordinary steamer. The Letitia went aground in a dense fog late last night, and though efforts to get her off were made early this morning they were unsuccessful. It is expected that she will be able to get away at the next high water.
