The Wairoa Guardian takes the pride out of its readers by the following reminder:—“lt has been brought to our mind that about this time four years ago there prevailed a long continuance of southerly weather, and the steamer was blocked out of Wairoa for a long time, so that a lady who left here to see a friend off to England did not get back to Wairoa until the friend got to England ! Yet she did not miss a single chance of getting here. Things are a little better now, seeing that a complete block is impossible.”
