AWAItOA HITS TJll'l WHAKF, nm HOW DAMAGE!). I Shortly before 3 p.m. yesterday the ' Terry ncv; steamer Awaroa met. with nu accident whilst she. was coming up to her berth at the Kerry Wharf. Tho vessel, which wan being handled well by her masl-vr, Captain Watehlin, junr., waa coming alongside very nicely, at a epeed pi from about two and a half to three knots an hour. In order to chcck her rate of speed, Captain Watehlin rang the engine-room, and, then, without the slightest warning, the steamer shot ahead, and struck the wharf. She grazed along the woodwork, and theu sheered over towards the Government steamer Janie Scddon. How the accident happened is not stated, but it is understood that Captain Watehlin rang "Full speed astern." In ooming in contact with tho wharf the Awaroa'a bows were smashed in from' the hawsepipo to waterline. The wharf also suffered damage in two places. On inquiry last evening it was ascertained that the vessel was not making any water. It is probablo that she will be placed on the Patent hlip to-day.
