After serving as a training ship for an Auckland troop of Sea Scouts for the short period of a week during the Christmas holidays, the former American barque, Guy C. Goss, which was the object of so much publicity several months ago, is to be towed to Wharekawa, in the Firth of Thames, where she will be beached for use in connection with her owners’ shingle business. The Guy C. Goss, which was built at Bath, Maine, in 1878, arrived at Auckland on March 24 of the present year, and was arrested for debt 10 days later. After lying idle in the stream for some weeks, she was the subject of lengthy litigation in the Supreme Court, as the result of which the consignees were given delivery of the ship’s timber cargo, and the master and crew the ownership of the vessel. In July the ship was sold at public auction, Messrs Carr, Pountney and Company, of Auckland, acquiring her for the sum of £3BO. During the time the vessel has remained off Orakei her yards have been dismantled, while her fore and main topgallant masts and her mizzen topmast have been sent down. Sails, ropes, derricks and other gear have been sold. At Wharekawa the barque will be run ashore in a bed prepared for her, and used as a jetty and a store ship. Also the shingle workers will live on board, in the quarters that were formerly occupied by the crew. WITHIN WIRELESS RANGE.
