STEAMERS TOSSED ABOUT.
VESSEL AT MERCY OF SEA FOR AN HOUR. Pfiß PrEHB JBdOCJATTON. Auckland May 14. Steamers-arriving at Auckland to-day report very rough weather on the coast, and in the Ta'sman Sea.
The Indralema from Brisbane averaged only five knots an hour for the voyage. She shipped heavy seas when off Cape Maria Van Dicmcn. The steering chains carried away, and the vessel drifted for an hour until repairs were effected. The Walisend, from New Plymouth, also had a tempestuous passage. On Wednesday a heavy sea struck ihe ship, smashing the hand steering gear aft, and flooded and ripped the lining •from the engineers' quarters aft. The Wavrinioo, from Napier had to put to sea when discharging at that port, and brought on about 600 tons of Hawke's Bay cargo to Auckland. HEAVY RAIN AT CISBORNE. Gisborne, May 13. Heavy rains continue and eight and a half inches have fallen. The Waipawa, river is high, and the flood waters covered the road near Ormond this afternoon. No further damage is reported.
