I Canadian Ship Limps Into Port Cheboygan, Mich., June 23 (AP).—A Canadian lake freighter, listing heavily, taking water and in danger of sinking, limped safely into port in the Straits of Mackinac today under a U.S. Coast Guard escort. The steamer Manzuttl of Yankcanuck Steamships, Ltd., of Toronto, radioed at 1:30 a.m. that her load of pulpwood had shifted in heavy seas, causing a severe list. Pumping engines had been knocked out and the deck cargo was floating, isolating the 26-man crew at opposite ends «f i stricken ship. The Coast Guard cutter '. inaw and a 40-foot patrol rushed to the scene. Spectacle Reef. ugs Helpless As Ship Washed Higher On Reef Montreal, June 25, (CP) — The 3,000-ton freighter Lawren-doc was swept off course early yesterday by a fluke current in Lake St. Louis west of Montreal and her bow lifted onto a reef. By last night, waves had pushed the vessel higher onto the reef despite the work of two tugs called in to free her. En route from Fort William, Ont., to Port Alfred, Que., with a cargo of pitch, the Lawrendoc ran aground at dawn. The forward tank sprung a leak and quickly filled with water, but pumps were put to work and officials of N. M. Patterson and Sons, which owns the freighter, said there was no danger of her sinking. The tug John Pratt was the first to reach the scene, about 100 feet off the main St. Lawrence River traffic channel. Blustery weather hampered the work, however, and by evening the Lawrendoc was aground amidship. Find Channel Is Too Shallow For New Ferry Ottawa, June 24 (CP). — The new motor vehicle ferry William Carson, built to ply between North Sydney, N.S., and Port aux Basques, Nfld., cannot use the route because the Port aux Basques Channel is too feet too shallow, it was learned today. The ferry, built by Canadian Vickers of Montreal, now likely will operate over a longer distance between North Sydney and another Newfoundland port instead of crossing the 125 miles between North Sydney and Port aux Basques. A Works Department official said it will be two years before the harbor at Port aux Basques can accommodate the 320-foot-long ferry, which cost more than $6,000,000. The channel was dug out by the department. Channel depth is not the only problem, the official said. Harbor winds are considered too strong for safe unloading of vehicles from the William Carson. The official said the department plans tr dredge the channel and build a breakwater to protect the landing from winds. The job would take two years. A Transport Department official said there also is another reason why the ferry cannot use Port aux Basques—lack of a road for the vehicles the William Carson will carry. The big vessel, now in Montreal harbor, has had its speed tests and is scheduled to be turned over to the Canadian National Railway next week. The official said the vessel, built for and owned by the Government, will be operated by the CNR, which will decide what ports it will use.
