Tho scow May, which was damaged on the Tokomaru beaoh whilst diechorging cargo, was put on tho Hatbor Board’s slip yoaterday, and in aooordaoos with marine regulations an examination of the vessel was made by Captain Sowell, of the Gisborne Sheepfarmers’ Frozen Meat Company, and Mr Williams, shipwright. Captain Spargo informs us that tho inspection of the vessel showed that practically tho whole of the sheathing had been torn oil the bottom of tho vessel, and he anticipates that it will take a week to effect repairs. There has been no structural damage, and tho centre board, which was reported to have been iojured, showed no sign of straining whatever. Considering the buffeting the May received before Captain Spargo suooeeded in getting the vessel’s stem on to the beaob, the manner in whioh she came through the ordeal speaks well for the o instruction of the scow. None of the bottom seams show any sign of working, and when the sheathing has been renewed the vessel will be preotioally new.
