ALARMING ACCIDENT.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Auckland, August 11.
As the Rotomahana was leaving for Sydney this evening a cab horse swerved alongside, the cab going over, and getting jammed between the wharf and the ship. A lady inside, Mrs Atwell, fell into the sea ; also the cabman named Menzies. The traces were cut, but the horse got drowned. A steward of the Rotomahana, named William Smith, jumped overboard and rescued the woman. He got kicked in the belly by the struggling horse in the water, but not seriously. Menzies was got out safely.
