Papeete, Oct. 15.
PAPEETE’S new dry dock (see Tahiti Notes, elsewhere this issue) was officially opened by Governor Anziani on September 28, and on October 5 the first two ships were docked.
The first was the two-masted schooner Moana (built 40 years ago for the oia German “long-handled” firm usually known as the DH & PG). As soon as Moana had been hauled out of the water and rolled over to one side of the new dock, Orohena was also docked.
