MISSED THE BOAT
AN UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE. PASSENGER’S UNENVIABLE EXPERIENCE. (Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, September 10. Misfortune befel a former Gisborne resi dent who had arranged sail for England by the Ruahine to-day, with his wife and baby, and to-night he is disconsolate in Auckland while his family are on the high seas. The vessel was scheduled, by the board at the gangway, to sail at noon, and the passengers were all aboard when the passenger in question inquired of the steward when the boat would sail. He was informed that it would not go before five, so he went ashore to obtain medicine fcr the baby and transact other business. Just after one o’clock he learned casually in a business establishment that the boat had sailed. He hurried to the wharf, only to find that the vessel had sailed an hour previously.
