THE LATE,FLOODS IN THE BAY OF PLENTY.
Distressing reports are hourly coming in of floods in the Tarawera, Bangitaiki, Orini, and Wbakatane rivers. The cultivations of many of the natives are entirely submerged, and a year of destitution staring them in the face, as it is now too late to put in fresh crops, and even if they had the will the seed cannot be got. We have no doubt, however, that the Government, when their state is fairly represented and investigated, will assist the natives in their time of . need. An esteemed correspondent writing on this matter says:—“ It is pitiful to see their looks of dejection as they come in and report their hopeless condition.”
