Dixie

Portpatrick, Wigtownshire.—9th October, 1938. The Norwegian steamer Dixie was in trouble through the failure of her engine off the Antrim coast, but a breakdown in communications prevented the news reaching the Donaghadee life-boat station. Portpatrick was therefore called out, but the Dixie was able to make for Dublin without help.—Rewards, £13 7s. 6d..
