Bho will be docked on arrival In Lyttelton to-morrow for the purpose of fitting a new propeller in her midships shaft. The delay in. effecting this urgent repair' has been due to the pretence of the Lyttelton dTedge in the dockAs the dredge's gear was all unshipped and lying on the dock floor, it wai impossible to make her ready for sea hurriedly As a result, the Maori hat had to make several trips at a speed of lobb than 1J knots.
