An accident, fortunately unattended with serious consequences, occurred on board tlije Celestial Queen on the passage from Nelson to Napier, shortly after she left the outer anchorage here. It appears that one of the apprentices, named Leedham, while engaged in doing something aloft, fell from the main yard into the water, striking the fore brace in his descent. It was night at the time, and although all the boats had been secured for the passage, in a very short space of time the gig was lowered, and the little fellow safely picked up. Leedham is a dark-eyed lad of twelve summers, and the life of those on board the vessel.
