 The Sealink ferry Antrim Princess was  
 towed into Belfast harbour today       
 after being crippled by fire yesterday.
                                        
 The ferry broke down four miles off    
 County Antrim a few minutes after      
 leaving Larne for Scotland.            
                                        
 An Admiralty tug had a line on the boat
 all night, but because of the high seas
 it was impossible to start the towing  
 operation until daylight.              
                                        
 Meanwhile, the Royal Navy patrol boat, 
 Vigilant, which also broke down off the
 Irish coast was towed into Belfast     
 harbour this morning by two trawlers.
