A high water depth of 17ft. 3in. at the bar, one of the lowest for years, is, with a heavy sea, holding up five vessels. Two are in the roadstead, and three are in port. The vessels in port, the Kaimai, Omana and Rata, are carrying restricted cargo, but are unable to leave It is considered unlikely that they will get away before this morning. In the roadstead the Kartigi, which arrived on Wednesday, and the Gabriella, which arrived on Thursday, are steaming around awaiting an improvement of bar conditions.
