More than a thousand men will

be employed in the overhauling of the Mauretania. More than 300 will be needed to coax this 30,600-ton giant into the dry dock, and many hundreds more to chip and repaint the hull and bottom.

Every square inch of the ship will be inspected by officials, who will decide on the repairs and whether to change the lay-out of the cabins. In past years scores of cabins have been reconstructed and modernised during these overhauls.

Notwithstanding the number of men engaged, it will be a month before the Mauretania will sail

from Southampton again. The day after she leaves the Aquitania will take her place for a clean-up that Twill last until January 4, and, will T110 in turn he repiced by the Beren-
