Fatal Accident.

A Man Drowned While Fishing

From tke Wharf.

At 10 minutes past seven this morning, as Constable Moar was taking a matutinal stroll on the outer eastern tee of the wharf, he heard the cry, "A man overboard," pro ceed from the A. S. P. Company's tee. He ran round to the spot, and nearly midway between the two'tecs, saw a man's hat float ing in the water, but no signs of the owner. A boat, from a cutter lying close by, put oft" at once, and proceeded to the rescue, but the occupants had, like the constable, only heard the cry, and had seen nothing of the accident. They pulled about for some time, and picked xtp the hat, but could see noth ing of the unfortunate man, who, it became evident, must have disappeared beneath the surface never to rise again alive. Constable Moar sent word to Sergeant Martin's house, and went himself to the water-police station, and procured two sets of grappling appara tus, with which some watermen at once began dragging for the body. Mean while a broken fishing-line was observed trail ing from the A.S.P. Cos. tee, and lying be side it was a kit and a knife. These, with the hat, were taken possession of by the police. LATER PARTICULARS. At one o'clock to-day the cap and kit ■were identified by -two painters as the property of Mr James Coughlan a painter residing in Elliott-street w'th a wife and four children. Coughlan is known to have left home this morning at five o'clock, for the purpose of fishing on the wharf, and besides this, the cap which is of soft felt, was splashed with white paint. Another link on the identification is that Coughlan was a member of the Painter's Society, and as he was out of work, lie had to slicav himself at the Society office at 10 o'clock every morning, as proof of having no employment. To-day nothing has been seen of him, since he left home. It turns out that a boy and a sailor .saw the unfortunate man fall from the wharf, and by the singular way he fell, they say" they arc nearly certain he must haye been seized with a fit. Coughlan was subject to fits, and while this "still further strengthens the identifica tion (about which there is no doubt whatever) it affords an explanation, V/hy the drowning man disappeared so (CMtickly. The boy who saw him fall says .that lie went down apparently rigid, and rehen in the water stood straight up for half a minute, beating the water with his hands. He then sank out of sight. Water men Keane and Marshall, while dragging between seven and nine, fished up de ceased's line and hooks. At nine o'clock the water-police took up the search, but up to the present time all tter efforts to find the body have been unavailing.

\ little boy called at our office this afternoon, ititid informed us that while bathing at Shelly 13eaeh at 9 o'clock this.morning. he saw the borty of a raau in the water. He ran home and told his mother, and she told him to come and tell us. It seems impossible that Coughlan's body could have drifted up all this distance in so short a time, though the tide was running in when the accident occurred. Perhaps another catas trophe has taken place.

MR BAILEY'S YACHT.

A VERY .smart jyacht was to be launched this morning, by Mr C- ?aiJe^ T il} his building-yard, under the jNorth Head. She has been constructed to the order or „ Messrs G. Hennings and Co., of Levuka, who intend her, it is said, for one of the Fiji chiefs, who is impressed with the desire to become the owner of the fastest sailing craft among the islands. She has been only a trifle over three months on the stocks, m that considerable expedition has been used by the builder, wh.c> has »I*o

taken great pains to produce a very speedy craft, indeed her wonderfully fine lines have been the subject of admiration since the hull has assumed shape. The chief ques tion, we take it, to be decided on her trial, will be whether Mr Bailey has not made her too much of a clipper, for in building vessels, as in other things, there is a limit beyond which it is impossible to go without sacrificing one important desideratum, (in this case buoyancy) in securing another. It is not maintained that this error has been committed, but it is just possible. Not only has the vessel extraordinary fine ends, but she has a tremendous rise of floor, as much as ten inches to a foot. On the other hand, the Ului-i-Lakeba, for that is her name, has a bold bow and a graceful suspicion of sheer: she also carries her beam well aft, some say to a fault, and has her masts stepped rather further aft than is usual. All these points tend to give her power in a seaway, and should help to counteract the burying tendency imparted by her fine lines. As she stood on her cradle under the cliff last evening, with the sun shining on her coppered sides, the vessel could not but be admired : her beaiitifully shaped hull and graceful tapering spars, for masts and rigging were all set up before launching, filled the eye very pleasingly, and so far as looks are concerned, there is no fear that she will not give satisfac tion to her owner. The dimensions of the yacht are as follows : —Length on keel, 51ft. ; overall, 56ft. ; greatest breadth, of beam (about 18in. abaft amidships), 13ft. 9in.; depth of hold, Bft, When properly ballasted she will draw Bft. 9in. aft, and about 6ft. for'ard. Her registered tonnage, as measured by the Customs authorities, is 24.98-100 toils. The materials of which she is built are all selected with great care. Her timbers are pohutakawa, sided to six inches, and moulded from seven inches to five inches. Her knees are fastened with live-eight inch bolts, and she is double kneed at the mast beams. All the fasten ings below the water-line are copper ; above they are of galvanized iron. Her planking is heart of kauri, two inchss thick, with 3in. bUge streaks. Most of the planks arc of great length, some as long as 50ft. Between the timbers, five or six ton of scrap iron and chinaum is packed. To the stem, which is at a trilling slant, a gripe piece is affixed, bringing her forefoot almost plum with the stem-head. This is to give her a good grip of the water in standing to windward. The space below the decks is entirely devoted to cabin room, as it is not intended she shall be used for trading purposes. She has a main cabin 30ft. long, well lighted from above by a 10ft, skylight. She has also a small cabin forc'ard, intend ed for galley and forecastle. The cabin contains eight sleeping berths, with room for making up ten more on the lockers. In the after end are the steward's pantry and cupboaHs. Under the berths, and in other places iiiiout the cabin, is room for stowing several tons of flour and other stores, should a cruise be undertaken. The cabin fittings are of cedar and kauri. The ceiling stringers arc 9in. by 3in.,and 50ft in length. The price of the vessel complete, is to be between £700 and £SOO. We have said above, was to be launched, because the launch did not come off this morning owing to an accident. While Mr Bailey was away a lad meddled with one of the "dogs " which secured the vessel on the ways, and to his consternation when the builder returned lie found her with her stern slewed right round, and off the ways, and the fact evident that no launch would come oil' this day of our Lord. It is probable that this evening's tide will soe the yacht which is quite uninjured, safely floated. The vessel was sent into the water broadside on, and to get her down on her side, a tree on the edge of the cliff, had to be cut down. We believe that Mr. Bailey, in building the Ului-i-Lakeba, has done his best to main tain the reputation of Auckland ship builders. It is to be hoped that in future, orders from the Islands of the Pacific Avill be more frequent, Yesterday afternoon, Mr Steele, of Pulman's photographic establish ment, succeeded in taking an excellent picture of the yacht as she stood on the stocks.
