SEVERE SQUALL.
* : CAUGHT UNAWARES. !Br Telegraph.—l'resa Association.) Ghristahurcli, June 11. Last night's squall caused many minor accidents and much temporary inconvenience. The squall came up from the south-west with marked suddenness. Peopie cycling home from business were blown, over, and others tumbled through' sideslips on greasy streets. At Lytteltou there was a good deal of excitement, particularly in regard to a party which was sailing across the harbour .in an open boat. A temporary hand on a dredge was injured severely, having a leg lacerated by getting it caught between the dredge and a launch acting as tender. At Sumner quite a heavy sea was rolling in from the bar, and shingle was thrown over the tramline, disorganising the tram service for some ' time.
