ON THE BEACH AT WANGANUI.—The cargo vessel Port Bowen which with 20,000 carcasses of meat aboard, grounded at low water on Castlecliff Beach at 1 a.m. on Wednesday. Efforts to remove her have, so far, been unsuccessful. The Wanganui tug Kahanui is seen standing by. Since this picture was taken, this tug has been joined by two others from Wellington. Right: TAKING PRECAUTIONS.—We were shown a new twist on the commendable practice of locking parked cycles yesterday. A city traffic officer noticed two cycles leaning against a building which they shouldn’t do and when he attempted to move them from the pavement found them linked to each other. A grip, controlled by a combination lock, embraced the front forks of both machines, an effective method of preventing, their accidental removal.
