The Waikato broken Down.
The New Zealand Shipping Company’s steamer Waikato was spoken on Friday in latitude 33 degrees south and longitude 10 degrees east, with her main shaft broken. She was drifting southeast thirty miles daily. [The point at which the Waikato was spoken is about 160 miles from the Cape of Good Hope. The Waikato left London on the 3rd of June for Port Chalmers and was due in this colony on the 7th of August. This vessel broke down a year or two ago in the Southern Ocean, after a long drift was towed to Fremantle.]
