Paiticnhtß of the accident to the Rinsafodma are now to hand. The men appear to hare behaved splendidly, the Watertight doors being all closed and collision mats fixed in an incredibly sboit spate of time tad in perfect silence* Daring the first three o? foar day», while the spring-tides wen flowing, the ship bumped heavily, and had she not been strongly built mast have become something very near • complete wreck. The constant attention paid to tbe cables, hawsers, and anchors laid out d«y and night greatly relieved the strain on tbe ship, and* coupled with the Iron shoes which tbe crew built under tbe forefooS not only prevented the vessel from ttovlng farther up tbe reef, but helped her Off «t high water. This was undoubtedly the reason that ebe was saved. At every tide the hawsers and cables hove taut. After several unsuccessful attempts to tow tbe ship off it was found that owing to tbe •train on tbe cable she was gradually wrig* cling off the reef, At noon on September 12 she had slipped aft 13ft, and the Bame afternoon, by continual heaving on the cables, fhe got free, and was able to steam to Port Sandwich. There is no doubt that the safety of tbe tteamer was entirely due to the nnwearied exertions of «U hands, night and' day, for 13 days days without relaxation, And to the fact that by continual rolling the Ship had worn for heraelf a bed in the coral feef.
