Kennedy, on Tuesday last, to one of the seaman named Charles Grimble. It appears he was blacking the top of the smoke stack, and to reach his work stood upon tbe top rong of an insecurely fastened ladder, which, tilting from under him, he fell heavily upon deck, striking his head with great force against the rail. He was picked up insensible, bleeding from both ears, and a messenger was immediately dispatched by Captain Carey for Dr Dermott, who quickly attended, and having examined the sufferer, recommended his removal to the Hospital so soon as consciousness returned. He partially recovered, and two hours later was taken to the Hospital, but appeared unable to realise his condition, as he muttered incoherently, and shortly after being admitted rehpsed into a state of insensibility. Dr Dermott fears that the base of the skull is injured. — West Coast Times,
