THE WEATHER.
The heavy rains have flooded the lowlying portion of Kensington and the Flat, and several portions of the northern end of the City are under water. The ground cp. posite the Turkish Baths is completely submerged. Last night’s gale was the heaviest that has been experienced for a considerable time. The wind was so stormy as to blow several umbrellas inside out, and in more than one case night lanterns came to grief. A portion of Mr Cargill’s concrete villa at the Forbury end of the Ocean Beach, in course of erection, under the supervision of Mr Petre architect, was blown down, and it is reported that several chimneys in various parts of the City and suburbs suffered greatly.
