INDRABARAH DOCKED.
EXTENT OP DAMAGE. tßy Telegraph. -Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Monday. The Indrabarah was put in dock today for survey and inspection. The redder U badly twisted throughout its entire length, and about 10ft of the lower end has been carried away altogether. The blades of both propellers were broker off about half way. It is understood that some of the frames and hull plates from No. 3 hatch aft arc -set up" in several places sufficiently to crack the cement lining the floors. Several intercosted frames are said to have worked free from the rivets in places, and in No. 3 hold a number of rivets have been sheared off from the stanchion bases. It is also feared that a good deal of damage has been done under the after-peak ballast tanks.
It is believed that the work of repairing the Indrabarah will be the largest undertaking of the kind put in hand at Port Chalmers.
