The dredge sheltered at Cape Farewell for three days and was unable to buffet her way to Wellington, necessitating a journey to Westport, the entrance to which was reached on Sunday evening. The dredge waited outside until yesterday afternoon, when Captain Tointon, Harbourmaster, piloted her irt. Flying an overseas flag, the vessel attracted a crowd of spectators as she started up the river and berthed.
