r A ttoU&H M?r‘ WELLINGTON, This Day. "Fears for the safety of the B :. n 'K ball Company’s steamer Ngakiitn ,which left Grey mo idi on Wednesday night for Wellington), were ; set at rest cn Saturday niglit when the vessel arrived after a very' tempestuous trip, which was not without a. series of incidents. The voyage occupied three days, three and a half hours. After leaving Greymouth, the Ngakuta encountered tremendous seas, which pitched over the ship as high as the funnel. For a day and a half she was hove to. During the. height of the storm a large ineat safe was swept away and crashed into the rail against which it jammed chief officer Pryde and an able seaman, named Sharpe. The latter‘s left leg was fractured and Pryde received a gash on the forehead, besides suffering injury to his shoulders. They were both removed to the hospital on arrival. Captain P Dowell did not leave the bridge from the time of leaving Greymoutb until the. arrival in Wellington.
