DAMAGED STEAMER
Greater Than Expected HAURAKI EXAMINED By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, March 11. The extensive damage caused to the motor-ship Hauraki when she grounded nt New Plymouth on February 21 is revealed by an inspection of the hull made in dock at Devonport. The ship has been holed in two places, one under the bow and the other at a spot directly under the bridge, while great elongated dents in the plates extend practically the whole length of the ship. The damage is even greater than was at ’ first supposed, and will cost many thousands of pounds to repair. The engineering surveys were completed to-night. It is understood that three engineering firms are seeking the contract, which will take from three to four weeks to complete and will give employment to a large number of skilled men.
