The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Line steamer Pakcha was clocked at Port Chalmers yesterday for the repairing of damage sustained hist week in Bluff Harbour. As the point whether the damage had been caused by a floating log or a- submerged rock, has been raised, se-vetal vlsiors were present when the dock was pumped dry in the afternoon, an I tho surveyors and other officials wen l down to ascertain the nature and extent of the damage responsible for leakage in No. 3 hold. The damage was found to be on the vessel’s bottom, the second plate from the rolling chock on the port side ly-ung scored, dented, and ernokea. , e dent had set up the floor inside the hull, and a number of rivets were loosenedAcross tho dent was a diagonal crack about 3ft long. The plate forward of the deni was intermittently scored for a distance of about 15ft, and immediately abaft the dent was a small score about a foot in length. The vessel had apparently bumped on a pinnacle of solid rock, and, probably, recoiling from the bump, had rolled sufficiently i to pass the obstruction without again coming into contact with it. A plate, is to be riveted over the damaged portion—an over-all patch. Repairs will be completed to-mor-row night or Saturday morning. After reloading the cargo which was taken out to lighten her sufficiently to enable her to go into dry dock, the Pakcha will resume her loading. Wellington is _ her final port of departure from the dominion.
