A serious accident occurred on Thursday night about
half-past nine at the pier head of the Blackwell Rail-
way station, which may or may not have led to fatalcon-
sequences, for on that head we have no information. On
the arrival of the Gravesend steamer Satellite, one of
the boats of the Star line, a respectably dressed woman,
one of the passengers, on proceeding as she thought from
the boat to the railway-office to take the train, and from
the darkness not discovering the road, made a false step
and fell into the water. She was saved with some diffi-
culty by three of the crew who intrepidly lowered them-
selves to the water's edge and clinging to the lower ex-
tremities of the steamer succeeded fortunately at last,
after fishing about on chance for some time, in laying
hold of her clothes and dragging her on board. There,
taken to the cabin, it was found, after pains taken to re-
store animation. that life was not extinct. What be-
came subsequently of the unfortunate woman rescued so
far from death by drowning is not known. It cannot,
however, be out of place here to notice, for the informa-
tion of the Directors of that railway. that the pier is
shattefully r.eglected in the matter of lights on the arri-
val of late steam vessels. It is stated by those present
that one miserable light or lanthorn alone was exhibited
on shore for all the breadth of the pier before the sta-
tion-house where the Satellite brought to, so that pas-
sengers passing from the full broad light of the steamer's
saloon into almost perfect darkness are unable to discern
ti ei may.
