AL OF HEAVY DUTY TUGS
FROM NORTH
Ov Associated Press)

WEST PALM BEACH, Jan. 10
The hundred million dollar
liner Manhattan, wedged more
firmly than ever on her sand
bank north of here, must await
the arrival of heavy duty tugs
from the north, it was learned
today.
Efforts to move the ship have
failed utterly since she ran
aground Sunday night and sand
has now built up around the hull
so that it will be impossible to
move her without dredging a
channel. .
Part of the 100000 gallons of
fuel aboard the ship was dumped
overheard yesterday in an effort
to tighten her, but it was still
impossible to move the liner. Pas
sengers have all been taken
ashore, but most of the crew re-
mains.

Rrry crew of from eight to 10
ZEN under the command of an
Ensign. They are heavily armed
with machine guns and torpedo
tubes fore and aft and attain a
speed of about 81 land miles per
hour.
Several of the boats were
brought here from England for
study some time ago and the pres
ent fleet is believed to have been
built along the same general lines
as the British model. United
States models have replaced the
British Rolls-Royce motors with
two powerful Packard engines
but the remainder of the design is
about the same.
Sailors at the local base, several
of whom are acquainted with men
who made some of the original
test runs in the boats, say they are
"the toughest riding piece Of ma
chinery in the navy" Men as
signed to them wear heavily
padded equipment, crash helmets
and thick coats, but running them
at top speed in a heavy sea is
still regarded as a Furnishing as
signment.
