New Liner Ceramic Receives Buffeting In Severe Atlantic Storm
AUCKLAND, Last Night (P.A.) For the first seven days out from Liverpool on her maiden voyage to Auckland, the Shaw Savill and .tlbion liner Ceramic, experienced a severe Atlantic storm, states a radio message from the ship, received in Auckland today. In a gruelling trial the liner proved herself an excellent ship in rough weather. . Commanded by Caotain A. V. Richardson, the Ceramic left Liverpool on November 16 and is due here, via Panama, on December 16. The strength of the gale was indicated when on the first day the liner’s run was only 206 miles. During the storm huge seas smashed over the forepeak, flooded the decks, and threw spray over the bridge 60 feet above sea level. Captain Richardson was very pleased with the way his command behaved. Since the storm the Ceramic has experienced calm, hot weather, and her best day’s run so lar is 445 miles.
