MAORI’S OVERHAUL.

WELLINGTON, April 9.

The ferry steamer Maori, which was placed in the Harbour Board’s Jubilee Floating Dock on Wednesday morning, was still high and dry to-day, and it is not yet known when she will again take to the water.

When a reporter visited the dock the Maori presented a spick and span appearance below the normal waterline, the flotfr of the dock being littered with the last of the mussels and other marine growth which had been scraped off before the brown paint was applied. On the vessel itself men were still at work cleaning and painting, and part of the hull above the waterline also remained to be painted. On the dock wharf, near one of the gangways to the floor of the dock, a motox* supplying power for electrowelding was running, the welding outfit being used in repairing the bow rudder, which had been lifted out of place. Astern, work was still proceeding on the propeller shafts, and it is understood that this part of the job is taking longer than was at first anticipated. Of the vessel’s three propellers only the starboard one was in place, the othex* two having been disconnected.

WELLINGTON, April 12.

The Maori was undockec[ this morning, and relieves the Wahine on Thursday night. The dock’s next job is the Rangatira, which, weather permitting, will be docked on Sunday morning. She will be cleaned, painted and taken to the water again in time to sail at the Usual hour on Monday evening.
