STORM IN AUCKLAND
SHIPPING DISLOCATED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, July 26. Backed by a strong easterly wind heavy seas swept up Auckland harbour today, but in spite of conditions, which were the roughest for some months, very little damage occurred. The chief damage was to a double-ended launch of about 26ft im length which was dragged from its anchorage in the Orakei boat harbour in the early morning and was driven on to the railway embankment. Pleasure craft mooted along the waterfront were severely buffeted and passengers by the ferry steamers experienced rough crossings. Shipping movements were dislocated, work stopping for the day with the onset of rain in the early afternoon. Practically all the day’s sailings were postponed.
