As tho Koutunui, acting as tender recently at Gisbornc for the conveyance of passengers to a large steamer, was swinging into the stream an exceptionally strong ebb tide took charge, and the vessel pot out of control, drifted rapidly broadside on down stream, and finally crashed Hit the western pier near the beacon. Meanwhile the Bipple, whioji left tho Iron Pot almost at the same time, rapidly approached the tender, and a collision was narrowly averted, Those aboard the tender were greatly alarmed, and for a brief period there v;ns somethin? in the nature of a panic. Eventually, however, the tender succeeded in recovering herself, and the passengers were safely placed aboard the big steamer. Some damage was done to the pier.
