STEAMER DELAYED
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day
The departure of the Piako for Halifax and London was postponed from 3 p.m. yesterday until 7 this morning owing to the absence of four of the crew. The remainder refused to sail yesterday, and left the vessel, and the seamen and stokers waited on the railway trucks on the wharf to see that a substitute crew was not taken aboard. In the meantime the steamer was moved to an anchorage in the stream, and when four other men were later signed on to replace the missing men, the crew decided to rejoin the Piako, and went aboard; but the vessel did not lift anchor until early this morning.
