HOKITIKA REFLOATED
Damage Apparently Slight Dominion Special Service FOXTON, September 22. The motor-vessel Hokitika, which had been on the south epit of Foxton harbour for nearly a fortnight, was refloated yesterday afternoon and arrived at the wharf at about 4.30 p.m. There is slight damage to the propellers, but apparently little other damage. The balance of the cargo of coal is being discharged today, 60 tons having been jettisoned to lighten the vessel. It is probable that the Hokitika will go to either Nelson or Wanganui, where she will go on the slip for asty necessary repairs.
