Built fifty years ago on the Manning River.

STEAMER’S NARROW ESCAPE. The new Commonwealth Government steamer Erriba narrowly escaped disaster in the Tarra River early this month, Tim steamer, which is the second of the “ E class of Commonwealth vessels to be built, in Victoria, was branched at. Williamstown on December 10. At the time of tho accident. site was moored in the river row the j big crane, for her propellers and funnel | to he placed in position. When a spare, j 1 propeller, weighing eight tons, was being ; lifted from the wharf into the shin's hold, I a high wind caused it to revolve like a vrindmill. As the crane swung towards (.he Erriba. the sling twisted, the splice drew, and the. propeller was released. In its fall the propeller went perilously close to the ship’s side, and, crashing on to the top of a new boiler, rebounded to the wharf. Had it. dropped when the sHng j was over the hold it would have fallen a di.rtar.ee of 40ft. and would probably have crashed through the bottom of the ship. The boiler, which was awaiting the arrival of another vessel, was badly damaged, and a portion of the wharf was smashed. FALCON A FROM MELBOURNE.
