The Port Stephens.

A Search to be Made. (Per United Press Association). DUNEDIN, October 16. The Union Company has instructed Captain Stringer, of the Rakanoa, to search for the abandoned steamer Port Stephens. He will spond some days about the locality where the Port Stephens was last seen, and then call at the Bluff and telegraph the result of tho search before proceeding to Newcastle. The Rakanoa carries extra crew and a special supply of bunker coal. The steamer left to-night. There is a possibility that the abandoned steamer may have been picked up by the Hinemoa, which left some.days ago to make her periodical examination of the depots at the Auckland and other islands.
