THE TE ANAU.
Some little anxiety was felt in town yesterday owing bo the fact that the Union S.S. steamer Te Anau, which left here for Gisborne, Napier, and the South on Wednesday afternoon had net reached either of the two former porta, and it was feared that ■omebhing had happened to hor on the way. Last night all doubts were sot at rest by the receipt of the following telegram from Napier :—" Much anxiety was felt throughout the day at the non-arrival of the s.s. Te Anau, from Auckland, bub about fire o'clock this afternoon all apprehensions were sot at rest when she was seen coming slowly across the bay under sail and steam. On being tendered it was ascertained that at two o'clock yesterday morning, when off Cape Colville, one of tho eccentric rods of tho engine gave way, which necessitated the stoppage of the vessel for ten hours to enable one of the engines to be disconnected. This having been effected, a start was made and the To Anau came along, working one sot of engines, and travelling at a rate of seven knots. She reached here as stated, having passed Gisborne without calling. The passengers for there were taken off by the steamer Australia. The Te Anau will leave for Wellington lato to-night."
