A FISHERMAN'S EXPERIENCE.
CAUGHT IN HEAVY GALE. GISBORNE, this day. A thrilling experience of Harry Nelson, a fisherman at Te Araroa, is reported from Hicks' Bay. Nelson was coasting in an eighteen-foot boat when he was caught by a heavy gale, and, being unable to make a landing, dropped a grapple with a good length of rope. He rode out a severe storm for 24 hours, and eventually reached shore safely. He was without food or water.
