NGAKUTA HELD UP
FIREMEN WALK ASHORE,
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, 3rd May
The Ngakute was to sail at 7 o'clock to-night for Harotonga. At sailing time, however, the stokehold staff demanded that three additional trimmers b- ongaged. The Union Company refused the demand, and th; firemen would not take the steamer to sea. They walked ashore when Captain Gray was about to take the vessel into the stream, and as the sailors refused to let go the mooring lines while the firemen wero on shore, the departure was postponed indefinitely. \
