Tho docking of the damaged steamer Westmoreland at Port Chalmers is looked forward to with Interest in shipping circles, says th'o "Star."', fhe was to have' docked at the end'of last week, but the docking had to be postponed until the beginning of this week. Tho extent of tho damage, of. her. bottom has been discovered to be fairly extensive by the diver employed for-the purpose, cut tho exact oxterit will not be fully ascertainable until : the vessel Is. in dock. - Then it will bo seen 'How'many of the dented plates may bo straightened and replaced, and how many will require to ibe removed. This is opart' from framing. Whether permanent repairs will be effected hero or whether temporary repairs will be carried out to enablo her to return to Europe for repairs does" uot yet seem to bo.finally decided. Of course, if the plating rcciuivcd for permanent, repairs has to be brought here from England, tho orobability is that sufficient will bo dealt with to mako a f'nal iob. On tho other hand,

if temporary repairs do rot require "a great deal of new material, and if such material is 'ftvailable in the Dominion, the final repairing may be put off until tho vefieel reaches the United Kingdom, where sufficient material will bo availablo.to ctmplele repairs.
