I mentioned in my last letter that the steamer Pakhoi had again come to grief through slipping off the beach owing to a heavy swell, and she now- lies in eight or nine fathoms of water. I now soud you a few more details of this accident, also photographs of the ill-fated vessel at different states ofthe tides before she was towed off the rock and beached, which will give you a clear idea of hor exact position. It appears that the direct danse of the Pabhoi slipping off the beach was owing to a heavy swell setting in just. as the tide began to full. I was down having a look at her on Sunday morning, and found that they had secured everything in the tween" deck for floating her so as to enable them to got her higher up on the beach. This was accomplished suc cassfully, but when the tide began to full she took the beach as she had done before, and the heavy awell kept hor continually on the move preventing her from taking a firm position on tho bank, As the water fell the steamor kopt gradually edging down, and although Mr. H. Smith, the Dock Com pany's Superintendent from your port, promptly opened all the ports so as to cause her to sink quickly, the swoll kept driving her about, and when sho filled she immediately slipped down the bank, and sank, as above stated, in from eight to nine fathoms of water. The pumps and other gear of course wout down with the vessel, but they will be recovered without difficulty. As the Pakhai slipped down the bank the ebb tide was running very strong in dred. The vessel had previously been floated successfully on four separate occasions, and each time landed higher up the beach, so the danger of her sliding back into deep water was never anticipated. Had they been able to get her a few foot higher ap on Sunday, there would have been no difflealty in patting at the tip of the after ballast tank. The denks in the cabin, hold, and engine-room had, I believe, already
