Port Bowen's Fate. Tenders for the disposal of the stranded steamer Port Bowen are to be called in New Zealand and Australia next month. Main interest •will be taken by tenderers in the t steamer's fittings, which have a com-' mercial value, while there should be competition for the, steamer's liull for scrap iron. The Port Bowen went aground off Castlecliff Beach at midnight on July 19, when inwardbound from Picton, and more than a month ago the Wanganui Harbour Board gave notice to the owners to remove the ship from, the beach. All the members Gf the crew have left Wanganui, but two officers remain to attend to settling up accounts con tracked during the time attempts .were made to move the liner from the beach.
