WELLINGTON, September 13. The General Manager of the Union Steamship Company 'is satisfied tint the Monowai will be picked up within three day. and that the delay is due to a mishap to the machinery. Five steamers, the Kaiapoi, Wakatipu, Hero, Terawhiti, and Victoria are on the look-out for the overdue steamer. The Manuka will leave Sydney tomorrow for Wellington in the Monowai's place, the Miowera taking up the Manuka's running on the SydneyAuckland service. Received September 13, 11.20 p.m. SYDNEY, September 13. The Victoria arrived at 9 p.m. The captain reports that he saw nothing of the Monowai.
NO NEWS OF THE VESSEL YET. Received September 14, 12.49 a.m. SYDNEY, September 13. The steamer Kaiapoi left Sydney, at 1.30 o'clock, this afternoon. The tug Hero, chartered by the Union Company, left at 6 o'clock in search of the Monowai. They will zigzag across the course followed by the New Zealand steamers, meeting at a given point. The Campion, another tug, left Newcastle early this morning to take up the search. The steamer Wakatipu is coming up the coast from Eden, and is making a circuit on the lookout for the overdue steamer. All departing vessels have been instructed to keep a good look out for the Monowai. It is considered now that there is little doubt but something has happened to the machinery. It is thought that with the Wimmera's report as a guide it should not be a difficult task to pick up the Monowai. The captain of the Victoria reports that after passing the Three Kings heavy weather, with rough seas, setin, and continued until yesterday at noon, when it gradually moderated. The wind was first from the north and veered to the south and to the south-south-west. He has not the slightest doubt but that the Monowai will turn up safely and thinks a westerly wind prevailed in the Tasman S°a. The Monowai, if broken down, will drift about to the northeast and north-north-east.
