A BARQUE ASHOEE. (PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Wanganui, May 9. The barque Freetrader, Captain Bowden, from Hobart to Wanganui, with timber for the Wanganui Sash and Door Factory, went ashore on the South Spit at the heads yesterday. Her position now is about a quarter of a mile from the beach at low water. She is head on, but it is thought that when the tide makes she will go broadside on. It is generally understood that the barque is insured, but for what amount is not known. There is a probability of saving her, but, in consequence of her bad poaition, the prospects are doubtful. She tea wooden vessel of 188 tons, and was built in 1850 at Hobart Town. She is owned by her captain.
