iha ship “Don’t look too good.”
“The North Sea is set on Porter

Skinner said, “and she must stay
on the reef until March 6, 7 or 8
when the next high tides occur.”
Skinner said the ship was dam

would be extremely diffacult but
that the company cannot afford to
lose the North Sea because of the j
shortage of passenger ships.
