TWO VESSELS COLLIDE.
ACCIDENT AT DUNEDIN. THE NAUTICAL INQUIRY. Telegraph —Pres* Association. Dunedin, Last Night. A nautical inquiry concerning .the collision of the barque Rothesay Bay and the steamer Calm in the lower harbor on July 7, commenced to-day. Captain Campbell, the master of the barque, stated the vessel arrived from Hobart with timber, and was towed to an anchorage in Carey Bay. Riding lights were put in position. When he came on deck after the shock he hailed the steamer, asking her name, but he heard no reply. The questions submitted by the Marine Department were whether Captain Braidwood, master of the Calm, failed to keep sufficient look-out or to keep the Calm sufficiently to the starboard side of the channel, whether Captain Campbell failed to display and keep burning proper riding lights and whether the Harbor Board pilot failed to anchor the barque in a safe anchorage far enough off the fairway. It was stated that a further possible question might be whether the Calm failed to give her name when hailed.
