Photo showing freighter, Virginia Maru, as she was edged off the mud flats in Kitimat harbor about midnight Sunday after running aground with a cargo of 1,700 tons of aluminum late Friday. Manoeuvering the freighter out of her predicament is the river tow, Lion, intercepted late Saturday en route to the Queen Charlottes. The big tug, one of the largest serving the coast arrived about 4 pm Sunday. After being freed, the ship was moored at the dolphins and inspected for damage. There was none and she sailed for the Orient at 11 am Monday.
