CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the ' Evening Maii,.' Sir,— ln a paragraph of your paper speaking of the accident which occurred to the schooner Uno, on her return to Nelson from Anahau, you say " the vessel had the misfortune to get a hole knocked in her bottom, wh'ch was caused by her resting on fche anchor." The latter I beg to contradict, the real facts of the case being as follows: — The vessel dragged her anchors into shoal .water, aud whilst swinging round with the tide she passed over the anchor aud in doing so 3he sustained the above damages. If you will insert this in your valuable paper you will oblige Yours truly Nkii, M'Donald, Master, schooner Uno.
