Admiral Evens
 Smashes Wharf

The Admiral Line steamer Admi-
 ral Evens called in this afternoon
 to let of P. ]. German of the Shak- an Cannery. Accordingto Mir. Cor
 man, who boarded the vessel atket
 chikan. the steamer smashed into the ketchikan wharf last night and wrecked il. It seems that as t was pretty dark and a hard rain was falling that the Captain let the vessel get oi5ser 10 the wharf than he thought he vas and upon dis converting his position he immedi- ately signeled for full speed astern and in sgnlew2y the order was mis- taken and the engines started full speed ahead, smashing bow on in to the middle of the Strong wharf and the vessel was not pulled up until she had entered the wharf office. The -seryices of several cross, cut saws had to be called in to use 10 cut the piling away befor the vessel could be loosened from her dangerous position. The vess- el is proceeding north with the ex- ception of lot of paint missing looks little the worse for the acci- dent.
