A father and mother from Blenheim lingered too long on board the Taniahine oji a, recent Sunday evening, giving final instructions to their young folks, who were .going back to College, with the result that the steamer left the wharf before they were aware of the fact. The father managed to scramble ashore with the aid of helpers from the wharf (reports the “Press”) but mother was left lamenting being'totally unprepared for such an unlooked-for trip to Wellington. The only ones really pleased with " the occurrence were.the children, who looked upon the condition x>f affairs as a huge joke.
