END OF THE TAKAPUNA.
SCUTTLED IN COOK STRAIT.
(arson, to "the raws.")
•WELLINGTON, June 18,
This morning in tho departure column of tho shipping register kept in tho Harbourmaster's office appeared tho following: "Takapuna*, 7.55 a.m., for Cook Strait."
Tho old vessel, which, under the shipbreakers' hammer, Had been reduced to a shell, left on her last journey in tow of a tug, which was" to take her well out into Oook Strait. The Takapuna'B peacocks were then to bo opened and the old ship sent to her last resting-jplace in "I)avy Jones's locker."'
Cook Strait is becoming quite a burial ground for ships. Two other old Union Company vessels have been scuttled thcro within tho Inst two years—the Poherua and tho Kini.
