END OF TUG’S CAREER
VESSEL SUNK IN COOK STRAIT. By Telegraph.—Presa Association. Wellington, Last Night. Cook Strait, a burial ground for ships that have seen better days, claimed another vessel this morning, when the well known tug Admiral, after manj years of useful service, was towed out to sea by the harbour board’s tug Toia and sunk in 100 fathoms of water southeast of Turakirae Head. Several months ago the Admiral was condemned as useless, and after being dismantled she was tied up at Shelly Bay to await her end. Other vessels that have been sunk in the Strait in recent years are the Solgran. Poherua, and the Takapuna.
