Cunard Passenger / cargo Liner MEDIA due New York Mar 26 from Liverpool

64 crewmen transferred from Shaw Savill ship RUNIC aground on Middleton Reef, Australia

   Sixty-four men from the crew of the Shaw Savill cargo liner RUNIC which has been aground on Middleton Reef, around 100 miles north of Lord Howe Island, Australia since 19^th February, were transferred to ARABIC, another ship belonging to the same Company.

   RUNIC had left Brisbane (Australia) for Auckland (New Zealand) and encountered a severe tropical storm which damaged her navigational equipment and she went off course and ran full speed onto the Reef.

   A number of attempts were made to refloat the ship but all were unsuccessful and five men have remained aboard to protect the Company’s Salvage Rights.  

Note : The ship was unable to be salvaged and was abandoned on the reef and her remains are still there to this day.

Bank Line's ETTRICKBANK arrives in Singapore with a fire in one of her holds

   The 5,138 gross ton Glasgow-registered cargo ship ETTRICKBANK arrived in Singapore with a fire in one of her holds.

   The vessel was on passage from South Africa to Tokyo with a cargo of Jute, Hemp and Copper Concentrates and had called at Colombo and, in the Indian Ocean, when about 200 miles from Singapore, a fire was discovered in a hold.

   The ship reported that the crew had controlled the fire and confined it to the hold.   The vessel was not in danger and did not require assistance and no person was injured.

   ETTRICKBANK was built in 1937 and owned by Inver Transport & Trading Co. Ltd. and managed by Andrew Weir’s Bank Line, London.
