DAMAGE TO TRAWLER

AIDING ANOTHER BOAT TOTAL LOSS EXPECTED [by telegraph—press association] NAPIEE, Sunday The fishing trawler Pilot, owned by Mr. Picone, is expected to become a total wreck as a result of running aground at the western pier head at Port Ahuriri shortly after 4.30 o'clock this afternoon. The Pilot was rendering assistance to another trawler, also owned by Mr. Picone, which had grounded on a mudbank just inside the inner harbour entrance. While towing the vessel off the Pilot struck a number of piles at the end of the pier, which pierced the hull and so damaged her that she is expected to become a total loss. The other trawler, which suffered only slight damage, was assisted by one of the Richardson and Company's tugs and subsequently was berthed at her usual moorings.
