WELLINGTON,. Feb. 6. Sections of the coff er dam to cover the main damage in No. 2 hold of the Wanganella, and so give buoyancy when air compression is again applied, were taken , to the liner today by the tug Kahanui, which also took five powerful floodlights to illuminate Work in the hold, as well as other salvage activities at night. • : . • • The office of >Huddart Parker said today that th§:'work was being advanced with great speed, but there was still no indication when the next attempt to free the liner would be made, the principal factors being the quick assembly of the coffer dam and the constant problem of the weather, which continues favourable. It was thought unlikely that any fresh attempt would be made before Monday.
