After the sealing up of the test holes made in the Arahura nearly three weeks ago. before she was withdrawn from service, the vessel will come off the Wellington floating dock next week, according to the Wellington agents for the Anchor Shipping Company, of Nelson. Her trip across the harbour from the dock to'a berth probably will be her last for some time.

Her certificate automatically expired when she entered the dock for overhaul It is intended to take the Arahura to Nelson later, but the Marine Department said that, it she is to sail unserviced, special permission will have to be granted by the department. The agents said it is possible that she will be towed to Nelson.
