A SAD AFFAIR.
DISAPPEARANCE OF MR SAINSBURY. LOST FROM A STEAMER. (By Telegraph—P-oss Association.) Wellington, last night. Mr Geo. E. Sainsbury, a well-known Napier barrister, was lost overboard from the steamer Monowai yesterday morning, while the vessel was on the passage from Sydney to this port. Mr Sainsbury, accompanied by Mrs Sainsbury, left New Zealand about a yearago for a European tour, and was returning to his home. It appears that the first intimation of anything having happened to the unfortunate gentleman was conveyed to the officer on watch at about five minutes past six, Mr Sainsbury being then reported to be missing. The vessel was* immediately put about and search made, but no trace of the missing man could bo found. There is reason to supposo that the mishap occurred an hour or two before the time referred to.
