LINER HELD UP AT PORT
NIAGARA AT AUCKLAND COMPLEMENT LACKING (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, To-day. The liner Niagara, originally scheduled to sail for Vancouver at 5 o’clock yesterday, was still in port at midday. Late cargo caused the first delay in departure, but since 9 o’clock last night the ship has been ready to sail, but has been held up because it is one seaman short, One seaman went ashore ill and the shipping company has been unable to fill the vacancy! The ship is on Australian articles.
As the result of the delay, the New Zealand ’Varsity hockey team will miss the first test, which was to have been played at Suva on Saturday.
