When the steamship Arawata was coming down JfohsoM.s Bay on her way to New Zealand this time, a brig came into violent collision with her, carrying away h*rr r.dl and stauncheons. It appears that the Arawata had to stop her engines, owing to one of the bearing# netting heated Shortly afterwards a brig named Albert the Good was observed standing over toivards the Arawata, as if to cross her bows. Apparently however those on board the brig thought the Kteai/mr was still moving ahead, and that they would he unable to cross her bows, as her h.dra was put up as if the/ intended to pass astern of the steamer. Captain Underwood seeing that a collision was imminent k the brig continued on her course, told the engirio.w }** ,-:Urt the engines ahead, and also hailed to the ‘.j;,; Uj put her helm down. This order was not oh'-ved mUI too late, and the result was that the brig struc;i the Arawata in an oblique direction with great force. Unfortunately two people on b>’arcl the •■raffia were injured. One, a Mr. J. Edmunds of 'Wellington, in trying to clamber on board the brig, by g«"t mg entangled amongst the gear, had his leg somewna -severely Iniured, and was also I:nocked overlxMid. .Mr, Miller, the purser, and two other men picked him up. A little girl named Mary Morse--head, or’ Vnckiand, received some severe cuts and bruises. Fortunately there was a surgeon on board who attended t/» f lie wants of the sufferers, and wo are glad to hear the / are progressing favorably. The ■ brig apparently lia I her headgear much damaged, and her cutwater .stove in. The vrawata proceeded on her v./ynge. and when she arrived at Fort Chalmers :;ouv. rup-drs were effected to her, which will be cornp(»ii‘d on h-r return to that place. On the upward trip of thes.s.
