pHE old Burns Philp steamer L Morinda, which some months ;o was sold at the surprisingly low ice of £3,100 to a representative of e Henderson-Trippe Shipping Co., Manila, Philippines, is still lying a bay of the Parramatta River, in dney Harbour.
It was thought, at one time, that i attempt would be made to tow e vessel to the Philippines, but it pears that her fate has not been cided. As only £3,000 is involved, r new owners are not greatly con rned with the present position. In ;tober they were busy refurbishing other ship which they own, at Coffs irbour, NSW.
The new owners have had remark ly good offers for the old Morinda d it is quite possible that owner ip will change before she leaves dney Harbour. The boilers were t in good order before the Morinda is sold and it is thought that she capable of giving good service still Indonesia, or South-East Asia.
