THE STEAMER HAWEA.
When questioned on the subject, local shipping authorities regard the Hawea's position as hopeless. She is being driven up the river, aud has apparently sustained a great amount of damage. The greatest danger is that she may topple over, aud thus block the fairway. Given fine weather, it should be possible to salvage a good quantity oi: the cargo aud deck fittings. The timber cargo was insured at the invoiced value in the British Dominion office, aud was shipped by Wickes, Limited, to fulfil Launceston ana Adelaide orders. The Union Company insures its own vessels. _^
