THE' STRANDED SCOW.
QUESTION OF SALVAGE. An attempt will probably be made shortly to salvage the scow Haere, which was blown ashore on the beach seven miles south of Cape Maria Van Diemen on June 24. Mr. W. G. Lowe, of the firm of Bailey and Lowe, has been instructed by the underwriters and owners of the Haere to inspect the vessel with a view to salvaging her. He left Auckland last night by the Manaia for Whangarei, and will travel thence overland via Whangaroa to the Haere. Mr. Lowe has had considerable experience in salvage work. About 12 yeare ago he salved the scow Bravo from within one mile of where the Haere is ashore. This will bo Mr. Lowe's second trip to the Haere under similar conditions, for ho salvaged her some years ago at Karamea Spit, on the west coast of the South Island. Should he deem it advisable to salvage tho vessel this time Mr. Low* will return to Auckland for gear and men for the work.
