Dunedin, Feb. 26. Sailed—Manapouri, for the Bluff. She spoke the New Zealand Shipping Company’s Waipawa off Cape Runaway on Feb. 22nd. The Wairarapa has sustained serious damage to her poit quarter through the s.s. Adelaide colliding with her. The port quarter of the Wairarapa was indented, her poop deck being raised up, caused by the beam end being forced up considerably out of position, and the bolts in the iron upper-deck in the second saloon are started. It appears that the Wairarapa left seven minutes before the Adelaide, and was going full speed, and being followed by the Adelaide, which was being pushed to such an extent that flames fully six feet high were issuing from her funnel. Upon entering the narrow part of the west channel, the Wairarapa kept on her course, and the Adelaide struck her on the port quarter, causing her to heal over on her beamends. There seems to have been considerable confusion on board the Adelaide, and one of her passengers jumped on board the Wairarapa. The passengers interviewed here state that no blame is attached to Captain Chatfield, and that in their opinion the boats were not racing. Auckland, Feb. 26.
