The s.s.

Ixion, of Glasgow, while bound from Campbeltown to Coleraine with a cargo of coke, came to anchor in the Skerry Roads on the 14th April. She had been damaged off Bengore, her pumps were choked, and her fires were extinguished, but by baling her Skipper had managed to get her into the Roads, and then showed distress signals. The Motor Life-boat T.B.B.H. was launched at 2.30 P.M. in a moderate westerly breeze, with a smooth sea, and towed the Ixion into Portrush Harbour, where she was beached.—Rewards, £3 11s. Qd..
