The same storm that caused the death of the chief ollicer of tho Tainui beset the N.Z. Shipping Co.'s passenger steamer Kotorua, which reached Auckland from London last Saturday. On July 4 heavy seas broke aboard, Hooding part of the steerage accommodation and damaging deck fittings. Two of the crew and the chief ollicer, Sir. A. T. Robertson, were slightly injured. En route from Newcastle and Port Stephen, the steamers Kalingo and Kainiiro, and the motor ship Port Waikato, experienced strong southerly gales, whidi later shifted to the west. While the wind was from the south, the Port Waikato had to run before it for 14 hours, resuming her course only when it moderated and veered to the west. On the east coast of the North Island successive gales have delayed shipping considerably. All the vessels trading between Auckland and Gisborne o: - Napier arc running behind schedule.
