ENGINES NOT AFFECTED
.. The report in circulation on Saturday that the defects in the machinery of the Government motor-ship Maui Porn are, are such that the expense involved will make repairs false economy is 'denied in official quarters. It was stated to-day that the trouble is entirely one of hull construction, and that,the engines are not concerned, but that they will have to bo .lifted out to enable the affected parts to bo reached. Certain repairs are necessary to the interior of the vessel's hull, and it :« thought advisable, at the same-time us attending to these defects, to strengthen, the engine foundations. It is impossible to do the work required to the. hull without lifting the engines out. The repairs are to be carried out at Wellington, but the vessel will not bo taken out of the water. It is stated officially that thereis no question of the present trouble being so serious as to warrant the Maui Poinnvo being removed from the Cook Islands service. .
