The Armadale, heavily in the bow by collision with the Norwegian tanker Ole Jacob in Cook Strait on July 31, is temporarily off the floating dock at Wellington again, giving place to an overseas liner which is to have a quick overhaul and hull cleaning here. Repairs to the Armadale are well ahead, the smashed hull members having now been mostly replaced—with steel members reclaimed from tbe Port Bowen —almost ready ior the closing of the lingo collision hole with hull-plating. The Armadale is lying for a few days only at the Aotea quay breastwork ballasted down at tho stern and high by tho bow.
