ARRIVAL AT PORT SAID.
PLANS FOR SUEZ CANAL JOURNEY:
[British Official Wireless.! (Received 3, 11-26 a.m.) Rugby, August 2. The great Singapore floating dock has arrived at Port Said in two parts. The dock will begin its passage through the Suez Canal at dawn on Saturday. The passage will take four days, but shipping will only be stopped or 12 hours at a time, since the doci. will wait at Kantara, where the canal is widened, and will afterwards pass through Ismailia and Bitter Lakes, where ships will be allowed to pass. Ten tugs will be employed. The passage will be a delicate operation, as there will be only 15 feet to spare on each side of the narrow part of the canal.
