SHIP’S GLORIOUS SUICIDE
FLAGS FLYING, SCREWS SPEEDING ASSISTING THE SHIPBREAKERS. By Telegraph—Pre»B Assn.—Copyright. London, April 26. With flags flying and screws full speeding the Pacfic Steam Navigation Company’s 9000-ton Orita, for 30 years a popular ship on the South American run, will gloriously commit suicide by dashing on the beach at Morecambe in order to break herself up before being sold to the shipbreakers, thus avoiding the usual fate of disused liners waiting in “Rotten Row” for their melancholy end.
