WELLINGTON'S LAMENT.
(SPECIALTO "THE TOESS.U) -:/ WELLINGTON, Mly 18
- The weather during the present month has been aU out of joint. There lias been such an unusual succession of southerly gales, with cold showers, that peoplo aro beginning to long for a little calm and sunshine. There is a cyclone disturbance with its centre near Cape Egmont, and Cook-Strait is in the rim of a high pressure or anti-cyclone area; as tho meteorologist puts it, we are between two wheels whirling in opposite directions. - To complicate matters, there is a low pressure area advancing from the west, but this may eventually prove a blessing in disguise. Anything would be better than the present sou'easter. Thero have been heavy seas in Cook Strait, and shipping has been a good deal buffeted about. Small vessels are sheltering wherever possible, mid several of the smaller boats cannot ' get out of the- harbour.'There are likely io be heavy seas between Kaikoura and Farewell Spit for some time.
