TRAWLER WRECKED
CREW HAS ROUGH TIME [Pint United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 11. Information from Port Charles regarding the wreck of Sanford* Ltd’s trawler, Thomas Biyan, states that the vessel ran ashore in thick, dirty weather. It is thought she will probably bo a total wreck. The company s trawler Baroona lias been despatched to bring the crew back to the city. The crew of eleven had a trying experience. They improvised a rope ladder when the trawler went ashore, and were thus able to scramble to safety. They were unable to_ scale the high cliffs in the dark of night, but as soon as.the first streaks of dawn were visible they commenced the arduous climb, reaching Port Charles Post Office at 10 this morning. The trawler had been operating in the Bay of Plenty, and was on her way to Auckland with a load of fish. She was the latest addition to Sanford s fleet, having arrived from England last August. She was insured in the New Zealand and Alliance Companies jointly for £6,000.
