About this image

DescriptionNO TUG to TOW INTO PORT.
BEACHED at ARAHURA.
CREW of 7 SAFE.
A difference of opinion seems to exist as to what took place on arriving off Greymouth. Capt. Mason says he got the flagstaff signals and so anchored, but saw nothing of the tug. The tug master says the craft brought up too far south and as a heavy gale was coming from the northwest he would not have been able to get back against it with his tow and accordingly he put back to port. Although the vessel is quite snug and safe where she lies, the work of launching will be attended with considerable difficulty as she must be sent through the surf, and this can only be done in very calm weather.Date of Photo1894Map^[1]ContributorTony Kokshoorn
