/ Napier, Sunday. The heavy rain which commenced v on Thursday night, and had fallen al.inost continuously since, has ceased. ; Rivers in northern Hawkes Bay distfiet xose, although there is no serir ous. cause for alarm. To-night, settlers in the back country distriets report that rain' is still falling heavily, and to-morrow may i see a more serious state of affairs. I Rivers were very full and with heavy iseas running in the Bay, water is not getting away as satisfactorily as ' it might. A slight hreak in the bank f is reported to have occurred at Meeanee. This has been temporarily repaired, but it may cause trouble ( \ should the volume of water irf the j (river increase. I' Settlers in low lying country have ■ j.taken the precaution of removing i .stock to higher places. The Napier-Wairoa rpad is bloeked by slips at the Devil's Elbow, and it is not anticipated that it will be , open to-morrow. The Napier-Taupo road is not in such a bad condition, ir'but motorists, who arrived at Napier this evening, expressed doubt as to whether it would be open to-morrow.
