SCOW’S LONG VOYAGE BEGINS
HOROUTA LEAVES BLUEF FOR AUCKLAND
The auxiliary scow Horouta, which has been trading between Bluff and Port Craig for about a year, removing plant from the disused . timber mill there, sailed finally from Bluff yesterday. The little 80-ton craft had become a familiar sight at the ferry wharf where she discharged her periodical cargoes of machinery, and during her work in the south she must have covered many thousands of miles in all kinds of weather. The Horouta, with her Danish master, Captain Tony Miller, and her small f crew, is proceeding direct to Auckland. This 950-mile voyage is a long one for so small a craft but Captain Miller is an experienced navigator and has no doubts about the vessel’s ability to reach Auckland quickly and without difficulty.
