Tlie Rotomahajia ran ttie Jessie u £ 111 h ai 'bour ago, but nothing of a similar riaturo hadl-occurred until early yesterday mornmg/'wheii,. a^about Company's steamer'He Ahau • collided, with ■ Shaw, Savill steamer - ' Arawa. Ihe. le Auau' had left her berth., on 1 ; Jervois yuay, to proceed ,to Picton. Vessels'lying-at. the breastwork, in taking'.their ,departures, ' usually go astern in a soutuerly,direction," and then come round. It is state'd that'thia , course was adopted.. The Arawa wife: : berthed . . at i\o. 1 South,. Queen's Wharf, "and \her stern• was projecting about 12ft. beyond th'e endcof the wharf. The'Te'Anau, in attempting-to : clear the wharves, ran into the stern of th'o stationary vessel. ■ The Te Anau - was in command-oL Captain Lindsay at the time of the. collision; It is • surmised that when the. vessel'" had > slewed 'round with her head to the sea, in doing" so she gathered too. much speed.. Consequently, ' ■it is stated, the steamer had not enough' timo'" ■in which'to answer her rudder and ayert the collision. It is stated that there was a' stern -. light on the Arawa,- but that there were ■"no lights'burning at that end of. the -wharf?. Tho To. Allan's propeller, it is said, was-going . '. astern at the time of the; impact . .The, Te Anau .'was berthed after the collision," and " proceeded to 'Picton •at 8.30. aim. Vyesterday. TheArawa appears to have suffered'most by the impact.Her shelter-deck; plates iand angle ■ frames at tho round of the stem on the; portside are • fractured . and : . 'beht, ' and- the stanchions and rails are ■ carried away.. The hole in tho shelter-deck, where the Te Ana'urammed her, is about 3ft;-in .depth. The Te Anau had her bow considerably knocked_ab.out, ': but'the full'extent of the damage was. not ~ ascertained .when the vessel left .Picton. '

According to information given to the police; ' : Captain Lindsay is reported to have said that' when taking the To Anau out he did not see 1 a light either oil' the wharf or 'at the stern ■ iof the Arawa. The night' was very dark, and the Te Anau was going full speed astern when the collision ■ happened. , His vessel did not. strike the wharf until after the collision. ' A'quartermaster oil the Arawa said he noticed the foremost light of'the, Te Anau ap- ' proaching, and shortly afterwards, heard a .* crash, . which broke the Arawa from her 1 ' ..moorings. . .-■.•• ' . . The,-.Arawa-; had . temporaryr repairs-;:effected. ; yesterday, and.left for Lyttelton,last night. An • inquiry will probably! he held: on her: return ' to'. Wellington. ; ' -.
