One of the Nebraska's - men had a narrow escape from drowning in Wellington harbor on the night of the 6th inst., as the vessel was getting imderweigh. The crew of the harbor pilot's boat, which was hanging on to the Nebraska at the time, heard a splash in the water, and in pulling up to ascertain the cause, discovered that one of ship's stewards had fallen overboard unobserved. He was taken into the boat not without difficulty, and from thence on board the vessel, where he had not been missed Mr J. C.
