REPAIRS AT OTAGO
DOCK TO,BE LENGTHENED BIG UNDERTAKING Press Association. DUNEDIN, Tuesday. A start was made to-day to lengthen the Otago dock in order to accommodate the whaler C. A. Larsen, if she is refloated. It is stated that representations are being made from both Auckland and Sydney to have the vessel docked at one of these places. The shipping authorities point out, however that the vessel must come to Dunedir fpr repairs, if the Otago dock can take her, as It would be foolish to suggesl that the insurance company would take the risk of allowing the damaged vessel to travel any farther at sea than was absolutely necessary. The repairing of the C. A. Larser will, it is said, be the greatest undertaking of its kind ever carried out ir the Dominion. Word was received ir Dunedin to-day that Mr. Plunkett, ai one time Lloyd’s surveyor in Auckland had been instructed from London tc proceed to Stewart Island to assist ir salvaging the vessel.
