A GALE IN THE STRAIT.
AFFECTED. Although there were strong winds slowing in the city on Saturday night, the atmosphere was comparatively calm yesterday, but a drizzling rain fell at intervals throughout the day. Weather conditions in Cook Strait were not quite so moderate—thick weather and considerable sea being reported by the vessels arriving in port. During tho afternoon, the Waimea, bound from West Coast to Gisborne, put into Worser Bay for shelter, and was still there late in the evening. The Hauroto, from Lyttclton, reported thick weather right until reaching the Heads. Tho Kurow, which arrived from Westport at 10 p.m., encountered a strong south-east gale after rounding Farewell Spit, thick weather and considerable sea prevailing till tho vessel made the entrance. A steamer was sheltering at Long island when the Kurow passed, but she was not identified. Other steamers duo yesterday that had not arrived were tho Rosamond, which left New Plymouth on Saturday morning, the Komata, which left Westport at the same timo as tho Kurow, and the Wairau, which was to have sailed from Karamea on Saturday afternoon. They aro probably sheltering on tho other side of the Btrait.
