The harbor-master immediately hoisted the danger flag, the 6url being far too heavy to admit of her attempting the entrance with any degree of safety, she shortly after proceeded to Westport, where she haa arrived all right, and may be expected here on her return to Grey mouth as soon as the weather mode rules
All matter? in connection with shipping here have been at an entire stand-still during the week ; the south-westerly gales and heavy surf having sealed up the entrance to the bay, which, during the |>ast two or three days, has presented ww siicut of foam, iao craft in the bay. consisting of the Star of Tasmania, Wairoa, and Mary Ann. are lying comparatively safe, although the surge has caused some of the mooring Hues to part. It is matter for congratulation that the bay has been so clear of the vessels during the severe weather, had it been crowded as usual the casualties must have been numerous, and pro ljflbly of a serious chancier.
