THE MONOWAI MISHAP.
(by telegraph—press association). Dunedin, Last Night. It is said lint Captain Cha'field offered £2O to the first man who should tight a passing steamer, and the distinction is claimed by one of the quartermasters and the third officer, it being the latter’s watch at the time the Mokoia’s lights came into view on Tuesday last. Present appearances are in favour of the quartern.aster obtaining the prize. The Mokoia had a crow’s nest rigged whaler fashion. No wonder Captain Spinks did not recognise what it was. The Monowai's people were singing when the vessels met. One section were returning thanks in ‘ The Old Hundredth,’ another party sang ‘ God Save the King,’ and the clashing of the two tunes with the tenor of the sailors hurrahing trade up an effect as much across the grain as a Wagnerian perplexity.
