MISSED THE BOAT.
A DISCONSLATE MAN
SEPARATED FROM FAMILY
(BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) AUCKLAND, Sept. 10.
Misfortune befell a former Gisborne resident who had arranged to sail for England by the Ruahine to-day with his wife and baby, and to-night he is disconsolate in Auckland, while his family are on the high seas. The vessel was scheduled by the board at the gangway to sail at noon, and the passengers wvere all on board. When the passenger in question inquired of a steward -when the boat would sail he was informed not before 5 o’clock, so he went ashore to obtain medicine for the' baby and transact other business. Just after 1 o’clock he learned casually in a business establishment that the boat had sailed. He hurried to the wharf, only to find that the vessel had sailed an hour previously.
