FOR SALE AS SHE IS
mMia abandoned
[Pee Uniteu Peess Association.]
AUCKLAND, June 14,
At the Northern wharf this morning the steamer Itimu and the auxiliary scow Motu wore busily engaged in discharging salvaged cargo from the Manaia. The Motu, which was the first vessel to arrive at the scene of the wreck, reached Auckland on Saturday morning. When standing by on Friday a quantity of cargo, including a number of bales of hemp, was taken out' of the Manaia’s afterhold and stored on board the scow. On learning that the Ritnu had been despatched from Auckland, and in view of the fact that the Manaia, was in no immediate danger, the Motu left Slipper Island for the city on Friday afternoon. The Manaia, as is the case with all other vessels of the Northern Company’s fleet, was covered by a T.L.O. (total loss only) policy, the amount of which is at present not available. Ihe value of the vessel was something ever £20,000. At a conference of directors of the company and the underwriters, held this morning, it was decided that the Manaia bo offered for sale as she now lies. Her cargo will not be included in the sale.
