The Norw x Frigga got into difficulties last ovening. She had come direct from Japan with a fall cargo of coal. The captain dispensed with the of a pilot, and in entering the harbour limits, the ship's prow got stuck in the bank, and the stern fouled the Ningpo steam-trawler which was at anchor, At first it was feared the screw of the Frigga had fouled the anchor chains of the trawler. Fortunately this was averted, and at high water this morning, the ship floated, and was duly berthed.
