KEEPING WELL
THE MEAT CARGO
ATTEMPT TO RAISE STEAM
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
WANGANUI, This Day. Captain Gregory reported today that the cargo of frozen meat on the Port Bowen is keeping well. The temperature in the holds where the meat is. stored has risen only one degree and there is a possibility of the whole of this cargo being saved if i steam can be raised.
Work on the Port Bowen today was concentrated in an endeavour to raise steam. The forward boiler is out of
action, but those aft are beUeved to be intact. Flexible pipes are being transferred to the ship to replace those fractured as .a result of the severe buffeting the vessel received on Sunday. The southerly wind has dropped slightly since yesterday, but a heavy swell made it impossible again for the pilot launch to go out and take soundings. Until these are taken no definite plan cari be evolved for lightering or towing. In the event of the vessel being towed off, she will be taken direct to Wellington.
