GALE AT TE AWAMUTU.
HURRICANE FORCE AT TIMES. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) TE AWAMUTU, this day. A heavy gale raged last night, and is continuing to-day, reaching at times hurricane force. The parapets of the 'business premises and macrocarpa trees and hedges were blown down, but no serious damage is reported. The electric transmission lines were badly affected, the current failing several times in a few minutes. The staff is busy attending to the breaks. Bain accompanied the gale last night, but ceased this morning.
