Damaged Liner Returns To Port. Holed in The Bowes. The 24,000-ton P. and O. liner Chusan damaged above the water line after her collision with the British merchant ship Prospector off Dover last night, is seen when it reached Tilbury today. The liner - holed in the bows - was outward bound on a Mediterranean cruise when the collision occurred. No lives were lost. The Prospector, 6,000-tons, which was flooded in one of the holds, was towed into Dover. June 13, 1953.
