The accident to the barque Waimea on her trip from Home, when a sea smashed her wheel , was attended (says a Wellington paper) by a circumstance which created a smile on the faces of even those who were fully aware of the danger the vessel was in. One half of the wheel was broken off by the sea, but it was not lost, for the true sailor who waa in charge of the helm kept a fiim hold, although he was thrown yards from bis post. There he lay on the brcal of his back,* evidently unable to grasp the situation, for he held on to tbe half of the wheel, and kept turning it for eoaie time, as if he was still steering. No one will dure to say that this is not a true British tar!
