THE HOLIDAY
ROUGH WEATHER AT GISBORNE BY Telegraph.—Press Association. Gisborne, December 27. During the Christmas holidays bad weather lias been experienced in Poverty Bay. Rain fell consistently throughout Saturday and Sunday, with occasional showers to-day. The rivers and creeks in the Waiapu district are running high, and cars experience difficulty in getting through to Ruatoria and further north. Car traffic between Gisborne and Motu is impossible, owing to the bad state of the Otoko Hill. Yesterday and to-day rough seas played havoc with the hulk Monowai, which was sunk at Whareongaonga on December 17, to form a breakwater to secure stone for the harbour works in Gisborne. Heavy seas washed half the Monowai away, leaving the bow with a bad list. SUNNY WEATHER AT INVERCARGILL. By telegraph.—press association. Invercargill, December 27. Glorious weather was experienced for the holiday. There was a large exodus from the town to-day, chiefly to the Riverton regatta and the Gore trots.
