' '" ■ ' ■ 9, "" uTHE COLLISION -OF THE, /WAIHORAAND THE MAY. „ , A preliminary inquiry was . heli m Wellington on. Tuesday, before Mr Harfc .. (Acting-Coilector of Customs) into the circumstances connected with the collision between the steamer Waihora and the barquentine May. Captain Forbes, of the latter • vessel, stated that' the' : weather, looking too threatening, he ran back to port, intending to waifc.a more favorable opportunity. When' abreast of Point Halswell, anrl going at the rate of three or four knots an hour, he saw a steamer's light ahead. , First he saw her port light and then her starboard and masthead lights. Soon after this he again noticed her red light, aud fearing there would be a collission, he put his helm hard a'-port, and dropped the mainsail. The May commenced to pay off, but; immediately afterwards she struck th-5 Waihora about the mainmast, car-" rying.,away the barquentine's bowsprit arid head gear. The steamer'was going at a good rate of speed at the time, and went some distance before she returned to see if the May required any assistance, which she did not. The steamer then continued her voyage. The birquentine nad nofc received any injury to her hull as far as he could see. j ihn Harrison Cullen, mate, and Willhm Hugh Ward, A.8., were also examiaad, but no fresh evidence was elicited. ■; ARRIVAL OF THE TAMBUI FRO II FOQCHOW.
