Yardmen attached to the railway staff at Dunedin were surprised one morning last week when the Christchurch-lnver-cargill goods train steamed in, to find that the 'roof of one of .the big A'B waggons was missing. It was not until inquiries were made into the loss by communiation by telephone and telegraph between Oamaru Palmerston that the roof was found by the line two miles north of Hamden. When the train was passing through North Otago early in the morning the wind was of exceptional severity, and the gust which lifted the heavy roof off the wagon, one of the type used for the carriage of oysters between Bluff and Christchurch, must have been of tremendous force and tornadic in its action, as the eaves are very small. When the roof was lifted off it dropped on to the telephone wires, breaking communication with the north.
