ATUA AND NAVUA.
DEPARTURE DELATED. CREWS DECLINE TO SIGN ARTICLES. The steamers Atua and Navua were due to leave Fort Chalmers yesterday afternoon for ..estport, Australia, and Egypt, having been sold bv the Union Steam Slip Company to the Khedivial Mail Steam Snip and Graving Dock Company, of London. Some trouble appears to have irisen, however, regarding a condition under which the crews are to ship, and the boats did not sail. There appears to be considerable secrecy regarding what the trouble really is, but it is stated that the crews, who have been selected locally, object to a condition said to have been included in their articles under which they will be required to work their passage back from Egypt to Sydney, instead of being brought back as ordinary passengers.
