FLOOD AT NELSON.
By Telegraph—Press Association, NELSON, March 14.
A heavy north-westerly gale with the high spring tides caused the highest sea on the city foreshore for many years past. The Port road and the lower parts of Wood and part of Washington valley are under water. It is believed that considerable damage has been done at the Port. Some boats are out rescuing the poultry and removing goods. The water washed over Halifax street, near the centre of the city right to the foot of the new Post Office. The heavy rain is now clearing, though the gale is still raging. The water was two feet over the wharf at Mutueka.
