Heavy seas were running on the coast last night, but moderated sufficiently to permit shipping to work the port on this morning's- tide. The wind later freshened from the south again, ami as a result tlie small coastal motor-ship Koutunui. which sailed at 10 a.m. today for Wellington with dairy produce, was compelled to put back to Castleclifl because of the stress of weather.
