Port Chalmers retains its reputation for ship repairing work that requires special skill and quick dispatch, remarks the Dunedin Star. The ferry steamer Maori is the latest vessel to take advantage of it. She arrived at Port Chalmers to get a spare turbine installed and have her overhaul completed. Quick and accurate work .was indispensable, for the ferry service timetable, was developing defects owing to her absence. The removing of a turbine from a ship’s engine roam is like taking a wheel out of a. watch, only that the turbine weighs over 15 tons and the shecrlegs, operating- through the engine roam skylight, cannot make a straight-out lift, of it. Nevertheless, the old turbine has been put ashore and the spare one from the shore fitted in its place. C. AND D. STEAMERS SOLD LAST OP NON -1!
