WEEK-END GALE
HIGH SEAS AT OHOPE
Fanned by a due easterly gale which raged most of the day ? Ohope residents declare that, the seas at the beach last Sunday were the highest seen for many years. So great was the wind velocity that the tide barely receded to any perceptible extent throughout the day the breakers being banked up against the. high sand. One good thing •which! resulted from the gale was that the kelp and driftwood which had disfigured the beach ever since the last, flood was removed and probably swept out to sea.
