A COSTLY MISHAP. The Norwegian steamer Bessa, 5948 tons, which touched a rock at the entrance to the port of Wellington on April 18, when arriving with cargo from New York v"a Auckland, left Wellington on Friday afternoon for Sydney, after being temporarily repaired there. The damage to the vessel, which necessitated a stay of twenty days at Wellington, proved to be extensive and costly. An expert who is In a position to give an estimate, told a New Zealand Times representative that the permanent repairs which will probably be carried out at Sydney will cost Between £12,000 and £15,000. Added to tblß are the charges for her temporary repairs at Wellington, damage to cargo, and ('emurrage on the vessel. The vessel's hull had 60 feet of damaged plates to a depth of about 6 feet, and two plates were fractured. All the damaged plates will have to bo removed for straightening or renewal, five frames will have to be removed also, and a large number of floors and angles will have to be removed. While at Wellington the leaks were caulked, and about 260 seven-eighth Inch bolts were fitted in place of rivets that had been loosened by the Impact with the rock. The whole of the repaired area of the hull Inside No. 1 hold was cemented over and dacked up with heavy tlm- *!?*■.. °'? tee h tons of concrete were used In the hold.

THE PASSING OF THE WIND-JAMMER. According to the American Export Monthly, of March 8, the ship Gragdo sailed from New York on March 7 for Sydney, via the Cape of Good Hope. The barque Asmund, for Melbourne, has since sailed, and also the barque Janna, for Sydney. These are the last sailing vessels to load at New York for Australasian ports; no others have been announced, and In view of the reduction In steamer rates, it is doubtful if further sailers will come to Australia and New Zealand from New York.

A TIMELY RESCUE. The Dongarra, which arrived recency at Sydney from New York, effected a timely rescue. When 250 miles to the north-east of Bermuda on February 10, a wireless call for assistance was picked up by the operator, from the American steamer Accoma, which was reported to be in a sinking condition. The course was altered and all speed made by the Dongarra for the distressed vessel. Sho was sighted next morning In a tad plightsinking w'th all hands standing by the boats, prepared to abandon ship. There was a high sea running, which rendered the work of rescue both difficult and dangerous, and owing to the rough conditions It was arranged by wireless that portion of the crew of the Accoma should attempt to get away from the sinking vessel in their own boat. This they did, and it was only after a desperate struggle and perilous trip that Hi persons, including the captain's wife, were safely got on board the Dongarra. 1 j v'.?, cr ! w from the s "" tln * steamer suffered badly from exposure, and were unable to return to the sinking vessel. A call for volunteers among tile crew of the Dongarra to man a boat was readily responded to. With a liberal use of oil to calm the seas, Mr M-Lean, the third officer, and his men eventually had the satisfaction of saving the 24 men 40 ma ) n ln lmh b ° ard thß f"? 1 ?
