SHIPPING DISORGANISED.
The heavy weather round the' coast ha-s responsible fur the almost 'complete-disorganisation oi shipping', as far as Wellington at least is concerned, j Nearly all -the smaller, bouts arc remaining i in. harbour,.and waterside *yojl; is prac- j •tically at a standstill. A Ivlegi'aic from j Wanganui states that the !im;r Niwa.ni j was compelled to put out, tre.-ni the road- 1 stead. The Lyttelton ferry boat -was j nearly two .'hours' Lite in nir'Hi;;;; h':rs j this morning, and the Wsairsiia, v.'hkh i got away from Napier at 2 \>.i<i. >'•?•?- | ierday, did not reach .Web'irigion tralil j 9.50 a.m. The auxiliary schoonar Kiri- ; tona, bound from Tarakoho to Napier, i put into Wellington last ni;;lit for shelter. The Pateena. arrived from • Nebon ' at 9 a.m.,, having sought shelter at-Pic-ton.. The .Kaitoa, which should have 'arrived here" at 7 o'clock this morning from Nelson,, telegraphed thaf. she-was sheltering at.Piclon., Reports from other coastal ports indicate much the same state of affairs prevailing there.
