The 4 ‘ European Mail” gives the following particulars of an accident which happened to her when starting :—The Somersetshire left London, intending to call at Plymouth to take passengers, for Melbourne on the 23rd of April. In running into Plymouth Sound she ran on the centre of the breakwater. She had a Plymouth pilot on board, and was going about five knots per hour. The weather was thick, but she was seen by the breakwater men, whoso shouts of warning attracted attention on board, and her engines were stopped, but too late to prevent her running stem on and giounding. An anchor was at once let go, and fortunately the Government steam-tug Trusty was in the Sound, engaged in laying new moorings for the Government coal hulk Chatham, and, perceiving the accident, immediately proceeded to render assistance. A warp was got out from the Somersetshire’s port quarter, and was convoyed to the Trusty, By the strenuous exertions of that powerful lug the Somersetshire, which was settling on to the slope of the breakwater, had her stern hauled off, and herself ultimately floated. She then steamed into the Sound. She was at once examined by divers and found to have sustained no damage, and sailed from Plymouth with a fair wind early on the morning of April 28th.
