Her Hull, together with her Machinery, Boilers, Engines, Gear, &c, &o, had a most complete and thorough overhaul on the patent slip at Williamstown, about three months ago, prior to her sailing for New Zealand — where she has been, and now is, actively and , profitably engaged, between Otago and Invereargill. !
