The high wind and sea prevailing in the harbour to-day made tilings lively, for the small shipping and the ferry steamers, some of the trips occupying considerably over 'the schedule time ia consequence. The boats on the Xbrthcote passage in particular felt the force of the fierce squalls that blew down the gullies and round the points of the upper harbour, and on one 01 her trips the Britannia had a slight mishap to her steering gear ac a result of the excessive strain upon it. She was on the -weather side of the Pupuke, which was at anchor at the time, and -before the defective gear was rectified had been blown down on that steamer. Before any damage resulted, however, she was got under ■way again, and continued on her trip ■without further trouble. ■
