Striking of tiik Bauq.uk HknuyMillkh on a Sunkkn lliihi'. —The Newcastle Chronicle, 7tb January, says:—" On Saturday last, the Henry illiiler, barque, commanded by Captain Dickson, returned to port. It was at once surmised that something was wrong with (he vessel, as she bad been jjonc biace the IMb ol last month. The srrniise piwed to bo a correct one, the captain reporting that wheu ia latitude 205 S., longitude 15S-2 i], bis vessel struck on a sunken reef or shoal, on which she remained fast for about 13 hours. In order to get the ship oil' Captain Dickson had to lighten the barque considerably by throwing overboard a portion of the cargo, "When the vessel got into deep water again, it was found that she had sprung a leak and was making about ten inches per hour. Under these circumstances Captain Dickson deemed it i.rudent to return to Sydney or this port. 'I he shoal was not visible above water, nor was it marked in the chart, its extent is believed to be about 2 miles in length by about a caoies length in breadth. The Henry Mi her was bound for Shanghai, with a cargo of tons of coal on board. Mr Wcatherill' and another marine surveyor, yesterday, held a survey of the vessel, and recommended that the remainder of her cargo be discharged, a recommendation which will doubtless be complied with." The following additional particulars appears in the same journal of the 9th January '■Since our last publication we have gleaned a few additional particulars respecting the striking of this vessel on a sunken reef, at sea. which may prove of interest to our nautical readers. It appears that the accident occurred during the night, and that the ship was speeding atom; at the rate of about 9 miles an hour, when she struck. The force with which she went on the reef may he imagined when we mention that her stem was buried some four or Ave feet in the coral, of which the reef was composed. "When lying on the shoal, there was sixteeen feet of water forward, and twelve aft —the vessel at the time of the accident was drawing nineteen feet, the precise position of the reef, as we mentioned before, is in latitude 20.5 S., and longitude 158.:* 10; but for the information of our non-nautical readers, wo may mention that it lies about 34 miles west of the Barren Shoals, some of which arc marked on the charts as doubtful, and is about midway between the New Caledonian and Australian land. The reef appeared to be young, and consequently of recent formation. A considerable quantity of cargo had to be discharged before the vessel could be got off. The amount of damage done cannot be estimated until the ship goes on the slip, but it is hoped that the injury is not very extensive. The leak wherever it is, must be a large one, as the vessel makes nearly as much water now she is in harbor as she did when at sea, .She will have finished discharging about Monday or Tuesday next, and will go on the slip as soon as possible. Captain Dickson expects that it Will take fully a mouth before he gets clear of the poi t again. This of course will involve a serious loss only a portion of which is borne by insurance. It was Captain Dickson's intention to have gone on to Sydney, but on nearingthe coast on New Year's Eve a strong wind sprung up from the south, which compelled him to run for the nearest port. Had be gone on to Sydney in the teeth of the breeze that was blowing, the chances are that he would have lost his ship." The iollowing letter from Thomas Dixon, master of the Henry Miller appears in the Newcastle Chronicle, of the Ilth January:—'• I shall feel obliged by your making the following corrections respecting the grounding of the Henry Miller, which appeared in your issue of last Saturday. The correct position of the shoal is latitude 20'5i south, and longitude 158.2 east. The ship was drawing sixteen leet six inches aft, and fourteen leet six inches forward; wben lying on the shoal, the depth of water was twelve feet forward, and sixteen feet aft. The vessel is expected to r.e ready for sea before the end of this month. She is fully insured in the London clubs against all risks, on whom tho loss will tall."
