PASSENGER SHIP
AGROUND ON THE ISLE OF MAN. ALL ON BOARD TAKEN OFF. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, February 29. All the 93 passengers of the Ulster Queen, most of whom were women and children, were saved when the vessel, bound from Liverpool for Belfast, grounded off the Manx Coast early yesterday morning. The motor-ship Duke of Lancaster quickly responded to the vessel's S.O.S. and successfully took off the passengers. Lifebelts were issued immediately the ship struck, but there was no panic, despite the pitch darkness. After unsuccessful attempts to refloat the vessel the crew of 50 were also taken off by a breeches buoy.
