SALE OF STEAMER
(Pcr United Press Association.)
Wellington, December 8.
Negotiations for the sale of the Duchess have been completed and she was taken over to-day by her new owner. The Duchess was to have been towed to Auckland by the Government motor-ship Maui Pomare and left in tow of her to night. When the two vessels reached Wellington Heads the tow line parted and the Maui Pomare kept on her way to Auckland while the Duchess put back to port, arriving back at her berth late to-nighr. Fresh arrangements will now have to be made for towing. the Duchess to the northern port, where she will run between Auckland and Kawau. The Maui Potrare’s itinerary did not permit her returning to Wellington for fresh gear to enable her to again take the Duchess in tow.
