Rough Weather.

Daring the latter part of last week and the early part of this, the weather beu was particularly rough, in fact Mr Walter Morgan assures us that it was the roughest he has experienced during his long residence in Kawhia. The launch service of the harbour, which is üßuc’ly so regular, was completely disorganised, tbe places around the harbour being isolated for some days. A large willow tree in Tainui street was uprooted. Mr Neilson’s yacht dragged anchor and was blown on to Moiotara Point, the rocks i damaging the crafislightly. On the Aotoa, Harbour the gale was j also very severely felt, the large body j of shallow water becoming very rough, j Mr Williams’ punt was anchored out 1 bu'. could not weaiber the blow, filling j and sinking. The punt contained stores -,nd dressed flax, all of which were ruined. A number of trees were blown across the Awaroa road, whilst many of the other roads in tbe district suffered likewise, but t) a smaller extent. The 5.3, Kia Ora was supposed to lea\e Onebungaon Monday, but could not do so ou account of the heavy sea running. The steamer left on Wednesday morning and encountered, a southerly gale and tremendous sea, thfi journey to Raglan occupying no less than 18 hour. 3. The trip will be remembered by many Kawhia peofle who were aboard.
