Everybody that travels has experienced the annoyance'of* having his ears deafened on bo»rd a steamboat by the roar of escaping steam. Sometimes accidents have occurred during the racket of “ blowing off." simply because the captain cannot make his Orders heard, and everything has to be done in dumb show while the disturbance lasts. Happily (says the American Manufacturer) an invention called the spiral exhaust nozzle is destined to choke off the noise. It-operates-by breaking the waves of sound, the escaping steam bei g surrounded with a wive helix, and obliged to pass between the wires. These nozzles are in use on steamers between Philadelphia and England. WRECK OF THE SCHOONER WAIHOPAI. On Saturday morning as the schooner Waihopai was beating in the Heads with a strong N.W. wind, she missed stays when about a quarter of a mile indde the lighthouse. When she paid off again and filled, she ran in amongst the rocks before the anchors could be let go. and stove in her starboard side. As soon as she struck the crew launched the boat, and with some difficulty got ashore, the boat being stove in in doing so. Pilot Holmes as soon as the accident occurred went to the schooner with his crew, but on arriving there the sea was found to be breaking over her. and for three hours he was unable to board her. In the meantime the decks were washed of all things moveable, as was also the cabin. The Waihopai went ashore on the top of high-water mark, and when the title went down she was boarded by the pilots, and her own crew at once set to work to secure the sails and g nr. which in the afternoon were landed on the bench. The Stella went down to her on Saturday, but found she could do no good, as the vessel was a complete wreck. The Waihopai was bound from Pclorus Sound to ihis port with a full cargo of timber, was owned by Mr. Cross, of Nelson, and was, it is stated, uninsured. With the first heavy southerly >ea she will most likely go to pieces.
