SHIPPING DELAYED
BOISTEROUS CONDITIONS PREVAIL Boisterous weather and heavy rains prevailed in Auckland yesterday, with the result that delays were caused to shipping. H.M.S. Dunedin, which was to have returned to Auckland yesterday morning with the large target after gunnery practice in the Hauraki Gulf, was compelled to shelter at Kawau Island. She came into port this morning. The Wanderer, a small fishing-boat, broke adrift from the anchorage at Mechanics Bay, and was drifting toward the tide deflector when she was rescued by a Harbour Board launch. The Northern Company’s steamer Kawau, which was to have sailed for Warkworth at five o’clock last evening, was forced to return to Auckland two hours after departure. The wet weather delayed shipping on the waterfront generally, and very little cargo work was done on the vessels.
