The Wimmera arrived .at Wellington Heads about 9 o’clock yesterday morning, four hours late, and with a heavy list to starboard,. owing to the cargo shifting during the worst of the gale she encountered. Great seas broke over the vessel at. times for_ her whole length. The passengers, as it is needless to say, experienced a bad night. The vessel’s list made it a difficult matter to berth her at Welinvn* 11 ’ and though she arrived there at 10.30 a.m. she did not get tied up until noon. Passengers spoke highly of the way the vessel behaved. Three accidents to members of the ship’s company occurred during the voyage. A youth employed on the vessel had a thumb split open from top to bottom, an able seaman received a bruised leg, and the baker, owing to a, fall, received injuries to his ribs. JL n f )or * J *ho three men were attended by Dr Henry, who discovered that the injuries were not of a serious nature. In consequence of her late arrival the Wimmera will not make a call at Lyttelton, but was to sail for Dunedin direct at noon to-day. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
