The coaster ADHERENCE, which sprang a leak on Christmas Eve and was beached at Ailsa Craig, was towed into Irvine Bay on Christmas night. A salvage ship pumped her continuously and a tug stood by while Saturday’s gale raged. During the calm on Sunday morning she was towed to Ardrossan. The crew were looking forward to New Year at home, having missed their Christmas dinner. |
