During the forenoon it was stated she hod left Oamaru for Timaru about half-past 8 o'clock and was sore to bo here between 1 and 2 o'clock. Boats were got in readiness to go off to her, and Captain Webster kept tho tug waiting to take members of the Harbor Board and others off. But 2 o'clock came, and 3 o'clock came, and 4 o'clock came, but not the Kaikonra, and she was given up in disgust. " Some one had blundered," and tho result was an out and out " sell." Last evening's Oamaru Mail says : — The N.Z. Shipping Company's steamer ICaikoura passed this port nnder easy steam at a^onfc 8 o'clock this morning. A large number of citizens were on the outlook for the steamer, but wore only able to take a view of her at a distance of about a mile and a half from the shore.
