TBE COLIMA.

This vessel was to be towed to Port Chalmo - s from Lyttelton this afternoon. Prom the * Post’s ’ account of her accident we learn that the shaft was carried away close by the aperture, and the screw, with the remainder of the shaft, went to the bottom of the eea. Capt. Malcolm, of the Maori, says that the captain of the Colima was very anxious to know what steamer it was that passed him so easily the previous evening, declaring that the Colima was doing thirteen knots at the time, and the other boat (which he was informed by Captain Malcom was the Arawata) went by him folly three knots faster. This must have been a little bit of Yankee tail-talk, for Captain Underwood asserts that he was going very little over twelve knots, and the American boat could not have been doing much more than nine. Possibly the Colima’s violent efforts to make some sort of show against the Melbourne boat may account for the mishap, as to the exact nature of which there are several different statemeats. Captain Malcolm’s account (made on the authority of Captain Shackford) is given above. Other accounts state that she threw off her screw while steaming. It was at one time thought of putting her on the patent slip at Wellington, but it proved'that the sap was not capable of accommodating vessels of more than 2,000 tons. SHIPPING TELEGRAM.
