ALARMING ACCIDENT.

Hitherto during the quarter of a century in which
the spirit of emulation Etta improvement in yacht-
building and yacht-sailing has been fostered by this
important club giving valuable prizes for competi-
tion, its regattas have passed off year by year un-
marked by any mischance; but yesterday an acci-
dent occurred which migit have placed the lives of
upwards of three hundredpersons oil board the club
steamer
it w a
s the
Prince
imminent peril, and
e
createdcondsiWdete considerable in
lealarm, although
pro-
videntially unattended with serious consequences ;
and here, before proceeding to further details, it is
but just to Lord Alfred Paget, the noble commodore
of the club, to state that the disaster was in no way
attributable to any mismanagement on his part,
but, on the contrary, had his directions been com-
pplaisesdedweitffha,
as agreeably
dayee a
bwouldly
as
hi n e all probability have
many that have pre-
ceded it on similar occasions.
rt

It was the opening race of the first class yachts
otrfiethsi:s_club, and the following was the list of en-

Yachts. Tons. Owners.
Christabel ..
Marina
Phosphorus 5O .. If W. Turner.
Glance
Audax

The prizes were a very handsome salver and tea
and coffee service, of a new and elegant design,
chased in rosettes, and gilt, manufactured for the
Exhibition by Hancock, value £lOO, and a second
prize, value £4O, for the second boat. Course, from
Erith to the Nore Light and back, with a time al-
ui half-a-minnt. -
derable ....AClted by the race, as is usual with
those in this club, and it was increased by the repu-
tation of a new boat, the Phosphorus, as a fast
sailer, where the renown earned by the others
made each of them the favourite.

The Prince of Wales steamer had been engaged
by the club for the conveyance of members and
their friends, and left London-bridge a little after
ten, with Lord Alfred Paget, the commodore, the
rest of the officers, and a party to the number we
have above stated. The vessel proceeded to Erith,
where the yachts were found at their stations, and
were inspected by the commodore. At 11h. 50m.
a gun was fired by direction of the noble commo-
dore for the start, and the Christabel, which cer-
tainly had a very good position, went away with
an extraordinary lead, followed by the Phosporus,
Marina, Glance, and Audax. For two or three
minutes only they were in sight, there being a very
stiff and favourable breeze from the southward of
west. Instead of being ready to follow, the
steamer's anchor and a few fathoms of chain had to
be got up, and this ceremony took so long that the
yachts were not overtaken until they reached
Gravesend, where the Christabel was first, Marina
second, Audax third, Glance fourth, and Phospho-
rus last, the latter rigging a bowsprit, she having
unfortunately just carried her's away. There was
at that time a gap of 50 or 60 yards between the
Christabel and Marina, which soon became shor-
tened, and they were abreast. Some very smart
sailing followed, and resulted in the Marina passing
her opponent to leeward. Off the Chapman she
had a lead of 200 yards, and retained it to the
Nore Light, where the accident occurred to which
we have alluded. At 2h. 3m. the Marina jibbed at
the Light as usual from the southward to the north-
ward, at which time the Prince of Wales steamer
was dead in her course, at about 100 yards above
the Light. Lord Alfred Paget, who was on the
paddle-box, had directed the captain of the
steamer to take her as usual below the Nore Light,
when he replied, as is supposed with a view of giv-
ing the spectators a better view of the turning, that
he would take her in a line with it, and was pro-
ceeding to do so when the yacht came down upon
him. The owner of the Marina luffed as much as
he could, and the crew shouted to the steamer. Lord
Alfred immediately, from his nautical experience,
saw the imminent danger in which all were placed,
and called out to the captain of the steamer to turn
her astern, and endeavour was made to get her out
of the way, but it was too late, and the bowsprit of
the Marina struck the steamer on the port bow
with such force as to open one of her iron plates,
stave the timber, and admit a quantity of water.
Tow and blankets were immediately resorted to to
stop the leakage ; and although the officers of the
club did all that gentlemanly feeling could suggest
to allay the consternation, it was general, although
the exact amount of the mischief was not commu-
nicated to the ladies on board. By the accident
the woodwork at the head of the steamer and the
decorations were flattened and broken, while the
yacht was much damaged. Her bowsprit was forced
, windlass, and
thrown down on
rki6gvhe ionf ,
tcha
er rmy ians gt a wayia n y thew e r
eb i t s
board the boats, but fortunately none were hurt.
As the Marina was unable to proceed any further,
she was taken in tow by the steamer to Gravesend,
where she was left for repairs. Owing to the col-
lision and its consequences no guns were fired, and
no time taken at the rounding, but at the moment
of the larina's jibbing she was above a minute and
a quarter ahead of the Christabel, the Audax being
next, then the Phosphorus. It was some time be-
fore the boats were again overtaken, and then the
Christabel was leading, the Audax being second,
and the Phosphorus third. In this way they worked
through the Hope and St. Clement's, and arrived
at Erith in the following times :

)1. in, S.
Christabel
Audas ........... ...
Glance ..
Phosphorus _ 5 48 40
.. _

By this the Christabel won the first prize, Glance
second by two minutes and a half.
A committee of the best yachtsmen on board,
headed by Lord Alfred Paget, was promptly held,
to determine what course should bo pursued re-

specting the Marina, when it was resolved to recom-
mend to the club, boiclee the prizes given to the
