NEW PLYMOUTH.
This day.
Yesterday morning Omata was visited by a whirlwind, doing much damage. A house was considerably damaged, the chimney knocked down, and the roof torn off. Several chains of fencing were blown down, and two haystacks and a strawstack demolished. Several trees were torn up by the roots, and other damage done in the neighborhood. The gale on Saturday night and Sunday morning was felt severely here. The chimney of the house of the Engineer of the harbor works was blown down, and the roof of the mixing house uncovered. The fury of the wind and sea was at the time terrific, and the force of the water tremendous, but the breakwater withstood it all, which shows the substantiability of the structure.
