THE OVERDUE WAIKATO. The s.s. Otarama, which arrived at Port Chalmers on Monday, saw nothing of the Waikato on her run across the Southern. Ocean between the Cape and here.

The tTend of the currents ia also northward, bo that there is every chance of her being picked up, provided nothing more serious than a breakdown to her maohinery has occurred.
