MISHAP TO TRAWLER.
[I j ee Press Association.] "WELLINGTON, December 28. The harbour watchman yesterday found the trawler, Nora Niven, which is tied up at Queen’s Wharf for the holidays, settling down by the stern. Examination disclosed a couple of feet of water over the engine-room plates. The fire brigade pumped the ship dry, and the tug Pelican later stood by, keeping the water down in the Nora Niven. It is supposed that the heavy iobble on the harbour, owing to the northerly wind, caused the ship to strain some rivets. The vessel will be placed on, the slip to-day for examination.
