From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, April 23.
THE auxiliary cutter Tui Navitilevu, which was sunk off the island of Komo in a hurricane last January, has been suc cessfully raised. She has been brought back to Suva little the worse for her spell on the sea bed.
An incipient growth of coral had com menced on the hull, but there was little other apparent damage when the vessel was placed on the slip. After a thorough overhaul, it is anticipated that the engine will also be fit for use again.
It was while out investigating the wreck of this cutter that the m.v. Derek, was lost. Salvage work on this wreck has now been completed, and only the Jproken hull remains on Komo. The engines and all gear have been brought into Suva, and will be utilised again.
