AFTER THE STORM.
BEACH TRANSFORMATION. DAMAGE AT CASTLKCLIFF. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WANGAXUI. this day. All examination of Castlecliff Beach reveals a transformation as a result of the recent storms, but the beach itself is greatly improved for bathing. 011 the other hand, however, heavy toll has been taken of the improvements recently carried out by the City Council. A children's playground covered by several feet of sand blown from the bench, battered gardens and broken shrubs are legacies of the storm. Exposed to the full fury of the gale and pounded by huge seas, the lantern of the south mole light at the entrance to the harbour was washed away. It was valued at £100. A resident of Castlecliff for 40 years declares that the seas were the roughest he had ever seen. The moles at the entrance to the harbour were subjected to a terrific pounding, but stood the test well.
