FLOATING DOCK
TOWED TO PERMANENT MOORINGS NEAR KAIWARRA • WELLINGTON, Friday. Wellington's floatjng dock was towed this morning from its temporary moorings at the Thordon breastwork to its permanent abode near Kaiwarra. A dead cairn prevailed, the harbour being enveloped in fog, hardly a ripple disturbing the placid waters of the port. New heavy moorings have been pro- . vided to replace those which some weeks ago on arrival of the dock proved unequal to the ask of holding it, and no difficulty should be ex~ perienced in connecting up the dock to its wharf with the big steel booms which are to hold it.
