DISASTER

IN THE IRISH SEA by PAUL GALLICO

Seven years ago last January vicious seas burst the doors of the British Railways car ferry Princess Victoria and sent her to the bottom.

WHY did only 44 of the 177 souls aboard her survive almost within sight of the Irish shore? WHY were no women and children among those rescued?

WHY was the watertight door opened to let the raging sea in?

WHY did the ship sail in weather so foul that Hfe. boats hesitated to put out?

Paul Gallico takes you aboard the strickon ship in her death threes in his gripping retelling of thin great disaster.
