Congestion at port
The Lyttelton waterfront continued to be heavily undermanned yesterday as new ship arrivals filled up almost every available berth in the port. The port was 544 men short, equivalent to about 42 gangs, and at 7 a.m. yesterday five ships were unable to get labour. Only three were fully manned, a 'ourth was one gang short, and the Russian freighter. William Foster, had only one gang.
