STOLEN SCOW
AN AUCKLAND MYSTERY (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 14. What appears to have been an attempt to steal a scow and get her out of port, was discovered this morning, when the Pahiki, owned by McCallum Brothers, was found on the rocks at Devonport on • the opposite side of the Harbour from the City. The scow had been laid up, and was securely moored at the wharf on this side of the Harbour. A light had been hoisted in the rigging but was not burning. This morning, all the sails had been set, and were set when the vessel was found ashore. The weather being fine the hull sustained no damage. The Pahiki was fully equipped for a sea voyage, and could have reached Australia except that there were no provisions aboard. Beyond these facts, the affair is a mystery occupying the attention of the police.
