808 BOX BUNS AOBOUHD. ;'Some mild eioltemerit' was' oaused'in Bliipping circles yesterday, afternoon by tho running aground of the steamer i Bob Boy. At 2.40 p.m. the vessel left the wharf for Havelock, and as

she neared Point Jernlngham she was Btcering close in'share.' It' was then low tide, and tho Rob Boy was presently stunk fast on tho bottorn. Several steamers immediately proffered their, assistance to ertricatc her, and before very long the Natone had-towed her off, and she steamed back to tho wharf. Captain M'lnt-yre immediately communicated with his agents, and with tho-.Marino Department/ and before - 5 ; o'clock' the' Rob . Roy had undergone surveyors inspection, and waH pronounced none tho worso for the misadventure. -She accordingly sailed at 10 o'clock last night for Havelock. ■ I WIRELESS TELEGRAPHS'. Authentic information received in Australia makes it apparent that before long all the ships of tho P, and 0. fleet will bo equipped with wiroless telography apparatus, and it "is stipulated in the now contract recently secured by tho Oriont Company that wiroless installations must obtain on all their vessels. „ It is only a matter of time then when passensers by the great ocean-going steamers will bo able W transact urgent business en voyage,' and in addition to this tho installation of wireless telography is of great practical value in tho event of any. breakdown to.the ship.
