RIVER IN FLOOD
o Harvest Of Driftwood From Patea Yesterday’s rain caused a high flood in the Da tea river, but before nightfall the waters had subsided ' considerably and to-day, except for | driftwood along the banks, there was ! little evidence of the huge volume ; of water which swept in a turbulent : torrent against the piers of the railI way bridge. At Gardiner’s pool, where the . course of the river turns, the water ! swept in <a. whirlpool, depositing drift_ i wood, which was gathered by nearby j residents. ' The biggest- flood for many years ' was experienced in March, 1927, when i the river rose 9 feet.
