STARTLING COLLISION
WITH AN UNKNOWN BARQUE.
SCHOONER KAEO DAMAGED.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
GISBORNE, this day. The schooner Kaeo experienced the force of the recent storm on Monday night. At 10 o'clock, wheu she was on the port tack, off Portland, a barque, coming from the opposite direction, collided with her, and carried away her mizzen rigging, foresail, and part of the bridge of the Kaeo. The barque's yards did damage to the hull, not by striking, but. just grazing the stern. The barque's identity was not ascertained, the weather being very thick. The crew of the Kaeo saw nothing till a towering vessel was on top of them. No word pasaed between the vessels.
