She was in the Port Chalmerß dock for a little over a month, and during this period she passed through an important stage of her ireconstruction. The principal work consisted of the removal of v tho hopper and well bulkheads, the fore-and-aft' watertight divisions, and the framing ftnd plating of her hull; The fitting of the ; :new steel lilatea to the hull, covering irt the "well" aperture, constituted it large portion of the undertaking. The operations were very much hanai.cn pped through tho scarcity of the requisite skilled labour, and a'great deal of'overtime was necessary to carry through tho work in an expeditious manner..'. , The Progress is now. berthed at . tho sheerlegs wharf, where' the masts and spars are being made, and will bo'-step-ped.—"Star."
