Greymouth, 12, j There is too much reason to fear that James K»rr, second engineer of the Mahinapua, has been drowned. It is supposed that when coming on board on Thursday night, there being no gangway from the vessel to the wharf, he slipped on going on board, and fell in the river. Someone on board heard a splash, and went on deck to ascertain the cause — looking about, shouting out, but nothing unusual was seen. There has been no trace of him since he was sem on the previous evening. His wife and family reside in Scotland. In the course of the afternoon Kerr's hat was found under the wharf where the Mahinajua was laying.' 'he crown was broken, as if he had been struck on the head.
