Channel Wreck

It now appears that the Belgian cross-Channel steamer "Ville de Liege" which was reported to have aunk within a few hundred yards of the Dover landing stage, has not actually gone down though she has been badly damaged, `.

The vessel appears to be resting on a bank, fast on some rocks.

Only a small, part of her hull can be seen, but this morning some of her mails were taken off at low tide, and an attempt was to have been made later to get her off. The crew and passengers were brought ashore safely by the Dover motor-lifeboat. All had suffered terrible hardships by reason of the freezing of the spray which bespat- tered their clothing,
