Accident on the Toroa.
A SAILOft BADLY INJURED. [By Telegraph—Press Association.] Kelson, last night. The auxiliary oil engine three-masted schooner Toroa, well known in the East Coast trade, came into harbor this evening. She had been taking shelter at Astrolabe, and while there a sailor, P. Nolan, was engaged in scraping the topmast, when he fell on to the deck house. He has been admitted to the Hospital, but the extent of his injuries cannot be determined yet. He is very badly knocked about. The vessel leaves for West Coast to-morrow.
