The main South Road was badly scoured by the late flood, and all the river crossings rendered very rough. Passengers vflio travelled up on Wednesday and yesterday, report a very rough trip. The journey from Okarito Forks to Hari Hari on Wednesday occupied all day owing to blocks and washes out. Most of passengers by the up coach got through by motor car to Hokitika late yesterday afternoon.

The Paeroa, after being detained in Okuru for several days, through stress of weather, crossed the bar outwards on Wednesday at 6 p.m., bound lor Grey apd Hokitika. She passed Hokitika yesterday afternoon, arrjving at Grey about 4.30 p.m., and put olf 180 sheep.consigned to Messrs Moss a«4 Co. from Messrs Nolan Bros., Okuru. The boat arrived at Hokitika this morning at 7.30 o’clock. Passengers for Hokitika were Mesdames J. Cron and Homisliam, Mr and Mrs A. Cowan and 2 children, Misses McDonald and M. Cuttanee, Messrs J. Cuttanee, Muller, W. Eggeling, Nerger, Heenap, Breeze, Cutbush, P. Mcßride, and J. Douglas.

Among tbe passengers by tlie Rae. roa from Okuru to-day was Mr Emil Nerger, the last to leave the Jackson Bay district, of that hardy hand of pioneer settlers which journeyed intu that little known district forty-five, years ago, to carve out homes for'themselves and families. The project was known as the Jackson’s Bay Special Settlement Scheme, and flourished for four or five years, when, ultimately, the settlers gradually drifted away to more congenial parts qf New Zealand. The grand special settlement scheme, launched in those far back days, is now only a memory, many of the old homestead clearings having long become unrecognisable with second growth. Mr Nerger, in spite of his age, is in good health, but feels that bis advancing yeans compel him to seek a complete change, so as to be able to receive any little attention that Ills condition may warrant. Mr Nerger took a great interest in local matters at Okuru, and was secretary to the local School Committee for many years, always having the interest of the .young at heart. Thp residents, to mark their appreciation of his long residence and service, presented him with a purse, before his departure from among them.
