A collision between the Bay steamer Edina and the tug Hovell, at the entrance of the Y'arra River, resulted in the Hovell sinking instantly. Three of the crew were rescued. They were exhausted. The Edina, a small ship of 380 tons, has been running between Geelong and Melbourne for about the last half century.
