TOW-LINE PARTS
Duchess Returns to Port SALE COMPLETED Negotiations for the sale of the Eastbourne Borough Council’s ferry steamer Duchess have been completed and she was taken over yesterday by her new owner. The Duchess was to have been towed to Auckland by the Government motorship Maui Pomare and left in tow of her last night. AVhen the two vessels reached the AVellington Heads the towline parted, and the Maui Pomare kept on her way to Auckland, while the Duchess put back to port, arriving nt her berth late last night. Fresh arrangements will now have to be made for the towing of the Duchess to Auckland, where she will run between Auckland and Kawau Island. The Maui Pomare’s itinerary did not permit of her returning to port for fresh gear to enable her to take the Duchess in tow again, and for this reason she continued on her journey.
