The Corinna is due at New Plymouth to-day, and will sail again for the south to-night. The. Rosamond will not leave Wellington until Monday. A serious accident befell the steamer Rimu on Tuesday night week (states the Settler), when attempting to leave Kawhia wharf on her return journey to Onehunga. It appears'that the vessel, in backing shorewards to swing when casting off her lines, went too far astern, striking the rocky ledge on the lower side of the wharf, where the beach precipitately drops into five or six l fathoms of water. One of her propellers—the Rimu is a twin-screw boat—evidently struck this shelf very severely, and it was at first thought in the en-gine-room that the blades had been entirely stripped from the shaft. The steamer was again berthed at the wliarf, when investigation the nfollowing morning showed that the shaft had been fractured. The injured propeller shaft was carefully secured to tlie vessel, and at 10 a.m. she proceeded on her voyage, which included calling at Raglan, depending on her single screw for power. Some difficulty was experienced in negotiating the bar when, entering the latter harbor, but eventually she succeeded in successfully reaching safe waters and discharging her cargo, arriving at Onehunga the following morning without further mishap. The Arapawa, which was in this port at the time of the incident, was held in readiness to assist if found necessary.
