Deeley, E. Lowe, and T. Close—and S. Kraetzer, racecourse detective, returned by tender to the wharf.' The tender left the wharf with passengers, bnt previous to the departure the local manager of the Union Company warned the riders that they might have to return On arrival at the Arahura, representatives of the firemen informed those on board that the ship would not sail with the jockeys and Kraetzer. The five men therefore returned to the wharf, and the vessel left for Napier at 9.15 p.m.
