FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE GALE AT WANGAREI.
1.1 < Uili i,L 1. M Wk lin.il a very severe gale lierc in the early part ot the week. It commenced blowing strong on Monday from E.S.E., and continued increasing in violence until Tuesday night, when the wind came gradually round to the cast; it caused considerable but not very serious damage in this quarter. Mr M'Leod’s store, at the Ituakaka, was partly stripped ; at this place Mr Auhery’s out-houses and stables were blown down ; the verandahs of G. McLeod and Captain McGregor's houses were torn away; a chimney in course of erection by Mr Morgan was knocked down, and a great quantity of fencing, and trees wore torn up. In I’arua a skiff was carried by the wind half a mile and lodged in a tree. The Irishman's proof of a previous gale being the heaviest was, “That trees were blown down that never fell before,” no doubt he would apply the same bull to this one.—[Correspondent.] —A r .
