FLOODS IN NELSON.
[PBBSB ASSOCIATION TKLEOEAM.] NELSON, June 15,
Accounts from the country districts report that the gale last night was accompanied by very heavy rain, also heavy floods. At Brightwater a number of sheep have been drowned, and in this locality the flat land was all under water. At Motueka the flood was the heaviest known since 1877, when so much damage was done. In the lower Moutere the flood is running through the windows of the Bridge Hotel. Horsemen found it impossible to cross the bridge over the river. The rain still continues, and it is feared much damage will be done in the district named.
