Eepaire having been effected another start was made for Wangamii. Owing to adverse winds and calms, however, the Haere did not arrive off Wanganui River entrance till 6 p.m. lest Thursday—too late for the tide. Tho craft was kept at eeo, and about two hour© later she was struck by a heavy north-west gale, which lasted from 11 p.m. till noon on Friday. Those on board the Haere experienced a strenuous time. The weather was '-sry thick, and no land was sighted. An endeavour was made to make Port Underwood, but the gale iucroa*cd in fury till blowing at hurricane force. The foresail was blown to pieces, and the moinsail started. The balo blew itself out without doing further damage, and temporary repairs having been' eifocted the littlo eailer was enabled to make Wellington Htads without further mishap. Her cargo of coal will be discharged here. UKION OOMPAJfY'fI CHRISTMAS BEU- ■ YIOES.
