SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO HER
MAJESTY'S STEAMER CUCKOO.
The Birkenhead, Queen's steamer, of 1,200 tons,
i
Captain Stevens, having anchored n the large roads
under the charge of Mr. Galli-
chan, Tuesday evening,
with the depot 2Gth Regiment
chan, Queen's Pilot,
Queenstown, Ireland, for the Jersey
on board, from Queens
garrison, the Cuckoo, on
this station, proceeded to
her early on Wednesday morning and took on board
300 of her troops, with whom she was steaming
towards Victoria Harbour at about half past 5 o'clock,
being at the time in charge of Mr. Payn, Queen's
Pilot, when her starboard bow suddenly struck
upon the dangerous and unbeaconed rocks in ques-
tion. Just previously, Captain Dumaresq, hear-
ing some doubt expressed to Mr. Payn by Mr.
Gallichan (who had come on board from the Birken-
head, as a tnere passenger to shore) as to the safety
of his course, gave the order" Ease her !"—an order
which fortunately mitigated, although it was too
late to prevent, the violence of the strike. The
consternation of all on board at the moment of the
collision may be more easily imagined than described; •
but owing to the coolness of Captain Dumaresq and
his officers and, the exertions of Major llogarth and
the officers commanding the troops, and to the dis-
ciplined obedience of the men, no panic ensued. The
troops remained in their places. Captain Dumaresq
then got all the Cuckoo's steam up, ordered the troops
en masse astern, to keep her bows as much as pos-
sible, from the water, and happily succeeded in
driving her, just beyond the harbour's entrance, into
shallow water, the vessel slightly canting over to-
•wards her larboard side as she took the ground. All
the troops on deck were then safely landed, in boats,
leaving nothing behind them but two or three Mus-
kets, which were afterwards found in .the barbonr.
With some forty men, prisoners and invalids, below
decks, main force bad to be used by the sailors, to
