SAFETY OF THE P.S. CHARLES EDWARD.
Westport, May 9.

She had either broken down or was short of coal, but made no signals. He distinctly saw Captain Holmes on the bridge. Dunedin, May 9. A father and son named Lawson have been drowned while crossing the Upper Taieri River. The Cromwell Quartz Company have crushed 2500z for a week's work. The Escort brought down 6700.
