Repairs to tho Indrabarah are proceeding towards completion, and it as expected that the voaael will bo ready to como out of dock on September 11. Both propeller shafts- liavo boen removed, and as one of them is 2in. out of. alignment, tho "kink" is risible a,t some distance. A now shaft and propeller havo been fitted on the starboard side, and tiho port sido will bo similarly fitted within a day. or two Mechanics are busy cutting out tho ravels in her stora post, to which a couple of now gudgeons will bo riveted to carry tlio new rudder, wliich is now being repaired at the Maori Ironworks. ' During tho eonnso ol an interview, Mr. Morris, tlio chief onsineer of tho Indraliarah, informod a representative of tho 'Otago Daily Times" that Ills staff had opened out tho whole of the vessel's enpjno? since her arrival in Port Cnalmor'u, and tliey were found to bo in porfcct order, the only exception being hor centrifugal pumps, wfoi'Vi woro badly worn by '' tlie eand being drawn up while the Indraway on the bfxich. . Refenriujr (to the vessel'fl constanietion, Mr. Morris paid a high tribute to the quality of the workmanship embodied Jn hor tall. "Every Tivot in her must lixivo been put in with fai'ihfuil skill," taid Mi. Morris, "and tho way in which her bottom pla<tc« withstood the rolling and bunmin.g while site wag on. tho beaeli proves that slio was put together by olevor. British worUmom. If only ono rivet had piTCn way .it would have ca.tif>eJ others to rw in tho eamo vicin.ity, and in a very short time a whole plate would havo worked loose. She is a fflith-fully-built eliip and a. credit to her builders — Swan, Hunter, and Co., Wallsond-on-Tvne." . Referring to the trip down from Wellington. Mr. Morris became very ctravo, and with an omnhasis that denoted verrrtrow* p.onri«Uon, lio said that nothing on earth would eiver induce hiim to tho performance iLtider .qimilnr conditions. "With ono aha.ft down 2in.. and the oth«r ono al?o bent, propellem gone, a.nd tho rudder in a. similar, fix, it is a we over reached ■tbis port w.itli thie Tndrabnrali. Of courso. 1f hor condition liad hciEm fully known •the vessel wiuild never liavo been, allowed to leave Wellington wlr'ile in iiieh a state, hut we h.id no means of Esisihtinz her until sho was doelred."

Blohm and Voss, of Hamburg, and tho Yulcau Shipbuilding Works, for tho construc-

tiaii of two mammoth linera biirecr than the Hamburg-America liner Imperator. Although tihei Imperator is- at present the largest vessel afloat, it eta,ted that the Vaterland, a aieter ship, is to be slichtly bisger. Tho two proposed N.D.L. liners, howovor, will probably be even loreer than tho Yaterland. Wellinston Heads reported that a largo etcamor with a black funtfiel passed CQdt ait 1 p.m. yesterday.
