An enquiry posted on the excellent Ship's Nostalgia website elicited this response from a Norwegian expert:
1932, Arrived Queenstown 7th July, 129 days from Port Germein, discharged at Glasgow.
1933, Arrived Falmouth, 20th May, 98 days from Port Victoria, discharged at London.
1934, Off Queenstown 11th June, 110 days from port Victoria. Arrived at Mariehamn 26th July, 14days from Hull, so most likely she discharged there.
So she never was at Ipswich within the "canonical time line", and indeed AR was very lucky to catch her being towed to sea. He must have been delighted.
