TWO ACCIDENTS
STEAMER DALCROY AT SEA
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
The British steamer Dalcroy, which arrived today with sugar from Java, has since leaving England a few weeks ago lost one of her crew by drowning, and has been ashore on a coral reef in Torres Straits. , A trimmer named J. Lally, a marrk-d man with, five children, who was making his first trip after a year on the dole, fell overboard, and when picked up he was dead. , Early in the evening of May 21 the ship ran on a reef off Dove Island. Her engines were run astern without result, and as the tide fell the steamer listed to starboard. At 9 O'clock next morning, however, the ship got off under her own power. Although she was making water in the forepeak, the flow was easily checked, and after temporary repairs at Thursday Island she continued the .voyage, making good time.
