[TSL] The Irish Times 8 Dec. 1932

>From The Irish Times 8 December 1932 --

                             Gale Off Irish Coast
                           Liner Eight Hours Late.
      Arriving off Cork Harbour yesterday afternoon eight hours
   behind schedule owing to gales encountered during the past two
   days, the east bound United States liner Manhattan was boarded
   two miles off Roche's Point by Christopher Aherne, who brought
   her safely into port. This feat was a extremely difficult one owing
   to the strong east-south-east gale and heavy seas running off the
   port, and the pilot and crew of the whaleboat were warmly
   commended by the liner's commander, Captain George Fried, of
   Atlantic rescue fame, for venturing so far out to board his vessel.
      Eighty-six passengers and 554 sacks of American mails were
   landed in Queenstown, but on the vessel's departure it was found
   impossible for Pilot Aherne to leave the liner, and he was carried
   on to Plymouth, where he will join the United States liner
   President Harding, which is expected in Cork Harbour from the
   Continent to-morrow (Friday).
      For the past two days a strong southeasterly gale and heavy
   seas have been experienced on the County Cork coast, and a
   number of outgoing coasters from Cork have been sheltering in
   Cork Harbour awaiting better weather.
