The passengers were landed at the quarantine station for the strictest examination. The vessel will go to her ordinary berth to-morrow. PASSENGERS NOT RELEASED. Fresa Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, February 28. It is now stated that it is unlikely that any of the Aqrangi’s passengers will be released to-night.

The mails, however, have been taken off. A number of golfers in a launch went near the Aorangi, and the international players on board amused themselves by throwing golf balls at them.
