-By Telegraph — Copyright).
Syd'ney, July 27. Though the river levels in most centres were either stationary or receding last night there is still danger of serious floods should more rain falL At Kempsey many residents left their homes, the water being two feet deep in some streets. The main North Coast road is three feet under water at Macksville. The cyclone is now passing south. All along the New South Wales coast shipping received a severe buffeting. A number of vessels were forced to heave-to on the north coast, and several small craft were swamped. The Monterey was one vessel which kept to schedule. She provided a gallant sight as she fought her way out through the heads into the teeth of an easterly gale. A number of families were forced to vacate their homes at Bellingen in the early hours of the morning. Washaways occurred in the Dorrigo district and mails were delayed in many centres. Telephonic and telegraphic services were dislocated. Several small centx*es are isolated by flood waters. A young man was drowned in thS MacLeay River when he dived into tho swollen stream to recover a boat.
