PORTSMOUTH, JULY 23.—A serious accident occurred
at four o'clock this afternoon on board her Majesty's
screw-frigate Dauntless, 24, Captain Halsted, refitting in
the harbour, by which a man named Nicholas White,
boatswain's mate, was suddenly deprived of life. The
deceased was superintendin: the discharge of the iron
water tanks from the hold to the jetty of the dock,
when, by some means unexplained, one of the tanks
broke from the slings and fell upon his back crushing
him down upon the hammock nettings. He was in-
stantly removed to the surgery of the dockyard, where
the promptest attention was rendered by the medical
staff, but life was extinct.
