THE ACCIDENT TO THE TEKOA.
Some surprise is expressed locally at the fact that no news hits yet reached the tolotiy with, respect to the arrival of the barque Gilford, bound from Cardiff to Sam Francisco, which picked up Mr H- C. Barnes, the second officer, and four of the crew of ,the Tekoa, and which, it is considered, should have reached port long ere this.: It is, of course, probable that she ii*» arrived at g*» Francisco, a_d that the fact was not thought of sufficient importance to cable. . An English shipping publicatio_t, in pealishing the news of the boat's crew having been picked tip, stated that the men were irost-bittea during their three days' exposure. The Tekoa was to have left the Fa_lda-ids for Monte Video during the secotfl week of October, but the locul o&ce of thd New Zealand Stepping Company have not yet received ratification of her departure, which is explained, by the infrequency of Uie mews of communication between the Fafistonda sad the outside world. arrival at Monte Video should be xeeeiVM shortly.
