Mr F. •!. Board, srm of a Chriatehiirch resident, llius recounts some of his recent experiences on the English coast:—"Wc left, llartlopool a!>oiit 10 days Itefoie Chrisfmas, bound for Woynio:ilh, and afler we had been 12 hours out. a Kussian steamer ran into us, and eul, us down. We made for Yarmouth, three miles distant, hut as wo were crossing the bar the vessel sank, ami us it was low water we were in luck's way, for when the ship sot I led down there was only a foot of water on her decks. Two salvago tugs came lo our assistance, ami the vessel was floated and lowed into dry dock, where the cargo was discharged. The vessel was patched up, ami we left, Yarmouth for West Hartlepool on Christmas Eve. ,In Iho evening ivc encountered a hurricane, ;iit<| we put tark to Grimshy. On making another start, we reached within three miles of Hartlepool, when' a sale blew

with terrific force, ami flic ves?cl became unmanageable. As we were running shore of provisions we siruct work, and the skipper had lo run back to a place called ftridlington Bay. Wo eould not get ashore on account of the high sea running, but wo obtained stores from a sailing vessel, in courso of times we Tcnchcd Hartlepool, and tlio vessel went' into dry dock. She is still there." The. steamer Queen Amelie completed the discharge of her Dnncdin cargo yesterday, and sailed for.Geclong at 4 p.m. *llcr present charter having expired. Captain Kitsoh will receive instructions at Gecinng for tho vessel's subsequent movements.

ATTEMPT TO FLOAT THE RAKIURA,

A furlhcr attempt is lo lie made lo float the. llnkiura off tlio beach near the Nuggets. Yesterday Mr A. Morrison (Lloyd's inspector) and a couple of ship carpenters proceeded lo the scene with tools and equipment to try and launch the steamer, instead of waiting (or spring tides and the tug. Two anchors have been carried Out astern, and are. holding firmly in four fathoms of wafer, so that when raised on skids, ready for launching, she v;ill be able to make n : e of her own winches for hauling back to deep water. Lalest reports stafo that there is not the slightest sign of damage to hull or machinery, and if successfully .floated she will probably ho able to proceed to Waikawa.
