TUG FROSTY MOLLER
ARRIVAL AT SHANGHAI END OF LONG TOW [BY TKr.KGIt APII PRKSS ASSOCIATION J DUNEDIN, Friday The tug Frosty Moller, formerly the Bluff Harbour Board's Southland, lias arrived at Shanghai. Cabled advice to this effect has been received by 11. L. Taplev and Company, who acted as local agents for the vessel, from Captain K. A. Potter, of the Moller Line. Captain Potter added that the tug performed more than satisfactorily on the section of the voyage from Thursday Island to the Chinese port. The Frosty Moller, after being purchased by the present owners, was refitted at Port Chalmers and after being forced to return twice through minor defects in the engines, left Dunedin finally on April 16 for Melbourne and Sydney to take in tow two vessels far Shanghai. These were the Patricia Moller, a Melbourne! tug, and the steamer Mourya, a Queensland coastal vessel. Owing to the heaviness of the tow from Melbourne to Sydney with tho Patricia Moller, the master of the Frosty Moller decided that he would complete the voyage from Brisbane with only one vessel in tow. Tho Patricia Moller was to follow with the freighter Beady.
