During a strong westerly s^alft which prevailed lately. a'melancholy accident took place in Waterview" Bay, resulting in the 10-*s of three coloured men, belonging to tho R.M.S-S. Northam. T;ie punt in which the men are usua'ly convoyed f oil tiie P. and O. Co^npany's steamers was proceeding ou shore with the crew, about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the water be;jan to wash on board. The men rushed to one side, thus overbalancing the pant, which turnc I over aud filled beneath its living freight. There then rose tearful cries from the drowning men struts inn in the water. The accident vms observed from the Nortbain, and life-buoys were thrown over, the b sts .•were lowered, instantly maimed, and hastened to the rescue. On the men bein^ collated, three were missing; they were named respectively — ilahom»»d Hoossera, Sil'nern MMiomerl, and Abdool Cader, all firemen. The Norcham is but a very snort distance from the shore, and it is prcrumed the unfortunate men were unable to swim. But fur the promptness with which assistance was on the spot, in all probability many more would hare met with a watery grave. Several are suffering from injuries received. Two of the bodies Jiscl been picked up by the water-police, and conveyed to the dead-house. —Sydney Empire.
