At the time when negotiations were being ' carried on for it« construction (states the [ Dunedin Star) a good deal of stress was laid on. the fact that, by building the new dook, vee- ! eels would be able to go into dock on ihe I day of tlreir arrival here, have their bottom? | cleaned and painted, and be ready to come | out the following morning to resume the work of loading or discharging cargo. The new dock is now practically completed, nnd it remains to be seen whether these expectations will be realised. As far as the handling of tho dock is concerned, it is gratifying to find, judging by the despatch the Waikare received on her last trip, that their realisation ie assured. 'Tho Waikare went into dock at half-past 1 on Friday afternoon,, and at halfpast 10 the came night she w«b cleaned and painted and ready to be taken out, which was done half an hour after midnight. During tho ten hours 19,840 square feet of her hull and bottom' had been scrubbed, scraped where necessary, and painted. Tho docking of the Waikare! although looked on as a very good performance, is not considered to have touched the limit of pressure despatch. INVERMAT "SPOKEN."
