MARGARET W. AT GISBORNE
DAMAGE NOT SERIOUS Press Association GISBORNE, Today. The motor-ship Margaret W. arrived from Hicks Bay this morning in tow of the Tiroa, the trip taking 30 hours. Sea conditions made towage difficult, especially when rounding East Cape in the face of heavy seas, but the only incident was the snapping of the line off Tuahine, near Gisborne. The damage to the motor-ship is limited to the tail-shaft coupling. Temporary repairs will be effected here and the vessel will go to Auckland on Monday. Captain Clark stated that the ship was fortunately placed when the mishap occurred and the breeze from a good quarter facilitated the return to Hicks Bay. He also spoke highly of Captain Garrett’s handling of the Tiroa on the tow. Repairs will not be costly and the cargo will be exempted from cost.
