SEVEREST FOR MANY YEARS.
[BT TELEGBArH — I'BXSS ASSOCIATION.} NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. A howling south-easterly gale is doing considerable, damage in town and suburbs. Many old buildings and fences have been destroyed, telegraph wires torn from posts, windows smashed, and chimneys blown over. One gust of wind lifted a woman some feet in the air, dropped hey, and rolled her across the street. A fishing craft at Moturoa sunk at her moorings, but the Rarawa berthed safely on arrival from Onchunga. Slates from the roof of the new post office are being torn off. The oil derricks at Moturoa are believed to have suffered severely. The blow is the severest experienced for many years.
