NGAKUTA HELD UP.
FIREMEN'S LAST MINUTE DEMAND. (PEESS ASSOCIATION TELEOBAM.) AUCKLAND, May 3. The Ngakuta was to have sailed at 7 o'clock to-night, for Earotonga, but at sailing time the stokehold staff demanded that three additional trimmers be engaged. The Union Company refused the demand, and the firemen would not take the steamer to sea. They walked ashore when Captain Gray was about to take tho Ngakuta into the stream, and the sailors refused to lot go the mooring lines while the firemen were on shore. The departure of tho ship was postponed indefinitely.
