When crossing the Richmond har this momlnir the motor ship Nimbin touched the north wall lightly. The .steering gear carried a«vay. Slight damage was done to one plate on the «valer line. Temporary repairs were effected at Ballina. The steamer pro» ceeilcd up the river, but will probably need drydocking on arrival In Sydney. Comment Is being made by re«ident« because there «as no tug available to help the disabled vessel. Had the accident happened further out the steamer must have become a wreck.
