COOK STRAIT CABLES
WEATHER DELAYS REPAIR WORK Unfavourable weather is interfering with the work of the cable steamer Iris, which has been chartered by the Government to pick up and repair three faulty cables in Cook Strait. Ihe steamer arrived from Auckland on November 20, atid after taking cable aboard went out into the Strait to commence operations. So far, however, heavy seas have prevented her from making much progress. Only one day’s work lias been done, and the vessel is now waiting for a favourable change in the weather: None of the cables have yet been repaired.
