HULK TO BE BEACHED
Former French Warship By Telegraph—Pres® Association. * AUCKLAND, July 19. The former French man-of-war Eure, which has been used as a hulk at Auckland since 1913, will be beached at Shoal Bay at high spring tide tomorrow morning, this being the first step in dragging her high and dry above the waterline for breaking. The Eure, which was formerly owned by the Northern Steamship Company, hhs been a familiar sight in Auckland’s “rotten row” for many years, and was recently sold to F. Appleton, Newmarket, who will dismantle her. As a result of her long period of idleness at anchor, the Eure has become partly waterlogged, and powerful pumps were working today lightening the hulk.
