AUCKLAND GALE
Craft Torn From Moorings in Harbour SHIP UNABLE TO SAIL By Telegraph.— Press Association. Auckland, June 25. The scow Torea and a motor launch from the cable ship Recorder were torn from their moorings iu Waitemata Harbour by a high wind which swept over Auckland to-day, and both craft were washed ashore. They were recovered without having suffered damage. 'The wind, which blew from the west, camo at times in squalls of gale force and was accompanied by frequent heavy showers. Conditions ou the harbour were very rough. Many units of Auckland’s fleet of fishing launches were off the coast and out toward Great Barrier Island when the wind sprang up, and news was received that some had taken shelter. It was intended that the Recorder should sail for Norfolk Island .to repair tlie Pacific cable in that locality, but owing to rough seas it was not possible to unshackle the vessel’s mooring cables from the buoys. As a result the sailing was postponed until to-morrow.
The rain was accompanied by hail, and marked the twenty-first day this month on which rain has fallen.
