Liner Drags Anchors
DRIFTS NEAR ROCKS. HARBOURMASTER’S PROMPT ACTION Per Press Association. GISBORNE, Jan. 25. During a strong westerly gale on Friday afternoon the overseas liner Port Bowen dragged Her anchors and drl-ted broadside on to within a short distance of the rocks running out from Kaiti Beach. By a fortunate circumstance, the Harbourmaster, Captain A. Carson, was in the roadstead aboard a pilot launch, which was proceeding to meet another liner, the Cornwall, and he boarded the Port Bowen, without delay, and managed to check the drift just at a time when the situation commenced to look dangerous.
