SCOW FAST ASHORE
HULL PIERCED BY ROCK
(P.A.) INVERCARGILL, This Day. Last night the Bluff Harbour Board's launch brought Captain A. S. Miller and four members of .the crew of the scow Horouta back from Centre Island. The scow is in the same position as when she ran ashore early last Thursday morning. It is stated that the point of a rock has pierced one side of the vessel and is holding her fast Most of the cargo has • been taken ashore, though a fair quantity of heavy cargo is still on board. The Horouta dragged her anchors In a heavy swell in Foveaux Strait and the engines could not be started in time to keep her off the shore. The crew lost all their personal effects. An. effort will probably be made to salvage the engine and other gear.
