REPAIRS TO THE TRIUMPH.
«. [Peb Press Association.] WELLINGTON, August 14. Workmen at the Triumph, are busily engaged taking out the false timber bottom and strengthening the gates of the dock by shoring. In addition to the plates, frames, &c, which, were sent out by the builder of the Triumph per lonic, Mr Fraser also received from Rolston, Dixon and Co. a splendidly made model of the port and starboard bows of the Triumph. The model, which is on a scale of a quarter - inch to the foot, shows the lines of the vessel's bows, and also the number of plates required to make her sound, and put her in good order. On the port side the break goes upas far as the lower deck, and as far baci as the 29th frame, a distance of about 50 feet. On the starboard side the vessel has suffered most, a larger number of plates having been torn away. The model, which i 3 accompanied with plates and frame plans, will prove most invaluablo to Mr Fraser in facilitating the progress of his work. When done with, it is Mr Fraser's intention to prQS^nJi the model to the Auckland Museum.
