The Samson, for Oamaru, sailed last night at 8 30. ’ The third mate of the Michael Angelo had a narrow escape of being seriously injured yesterday afternoon. He was standing on some cases looking after the ballast, when he over-balanced himself, and fell down the lower hold of the after-hatch, on top of the ballast. Dr Drysdale was at once sent for, and examined him. No bones were fractured, but he has sustained some Internal injury, which, at present, is not thought anything very serious. The steamer Phoebe is undergoing extensive repairs at Sydney. Her two boilers are being replaced with one large one —the largest boiler ever made in the Colonies. Its weight will be about forty-five tons. Her engines when refitted will be nearly new. The sole plate being found defective is undergoing repair. The hull of the ship has been stripped of all wood work, and the iron chipped clean and painted both fore and aft. The hull was surveyed by the Government surveyors, and found to be in first-class order, and nothing required to be done to it. The alterations in cabin accommodation are various : the fore-cabin has been carried right forward, taking in what was the forecastle, thus giving additional accommodation for twenty-five passengers, or about sixty altogether in the fore-cabin. The saloon is greatly altered, the three stern cabins are taken down, and a fine transom with seats formed, also four large ports cut in the stern. The staircase entrance in the saloon is removed, and a house built on the poop—the same as the Ladybird—with two side entrances to the saloon. At the top of the stairs is a smoking room, and the after part forms the captain s cabin. The bridge is run from the forward gangway to the break of the poop, giving a splendid promenade for passengers. The alterations will cost a large sum of money, but when completed she will he the finest steamer in New Zealand, and it will be difficult to find her equal in Sydney. She will be ready to leave for the Manukau about the beginning of July, and will then run between Sydney and Manukau, calling at all New Zealand ports, should sufficient inducement offer. —Auckland Star.
