The Tyser liner Indrabarah was docked at Port Chalmers on the 29th July for survey ami inspection, consequent upon her recent stranding. Prior to the vessel being placed on the blocks Diver Miller made a thorough examination of her hull to ascertain whether the blocks wore safely in position, as it was feared that some of them may have been displaced by some projection from the vessel’s keel. Late in the afternoon the water was pumped out of the dock. It was then seen that her rudder was badly twisted throughout its entire length, and about 10ft of the lower end had been carried away altogether. The blades of Ixith propellers wore broken off to about half of their proper length, having apparently conic into contact with some solid material. After looking at her broken and twisted rudder and her damaged propellers, one realises that the safo navigation of the Indrabarah from the scene of her stranding to Wellington,

thence to Port Chalmers, was not the leas? meritorious item in The salvage operations. The injuries to her hull can only be oroperly defined by the marine surveyors, but we understand that some of her frames and hull plates from No. 3 hatch aft are “set up”' in several places sufficient to crack the cement lining on her floors. Several of her intercostal frames are said to have worked free from the rivets in places, and evidences of the severe shearing strain or her hull are apparent in her No. 3 hold, where a number of rivets have been, sheared off from the stanchion bases. It is also- feared that a good deal of damage exists under her aft peak ballast tanks. The warping drum on the capstan is badly bent and two of t the forward winches were put out of action, during salvage operations. Captain Hollingsworth, her commander, haa associated with him the following officers:—• Mr A. AV. Strafford (chief), Mr A, W. Adcock (second), Air W. Hill (third). Mr A. L. Morris is in charge of the engine room, his assistants being Messrs W. Jackson (second), J. AlTntyro (third), J. Melville (fourth), anti P. Partridge (fifth). The chief refrigerating engineer is Mr J. Young, and the second is Air P. Dodswcll.
