THE IMMIGRANTS.
The whole of the immigrants per City of Auckland were not able to go toWellington per Hinemoa. The last ©f them did not reach Wqikanae until midnight, and fully half the number, including many women and children, had to remain oa the open beach until next mornmg. Thej suffered from cold and exposure, the sand hills affording no protection from the wind aiid heavy rain, which helped to add to their discomfort. The boats commenced to ply again at daylight, but owing to a strong nor-wester springing up, and to an adverse tide, the Hinemoa was compelled to run for Wellington, leaving about twenty immigrants behind, with two boats and their crewe. The ateamor on her return encountered a heavy tide rip off Terawiti, which caused her to Bhip many seas and roll heavily. On her arrival at Wellington, orders were given to her to proceed forthwith to Napier, and, having taken in the necessary provisions, she started on her voyage to Napier about six o'clock on Friday. The Government made arrangements for two coaches to proceed to Waikanae on Friday night to take on the immigrants who wera lei't behind.
