KAPITI. ARRIVES

Leaving Wanganui on Tuesday morning early the Kapiti struck heavy weather when a few hours out, and as she was running fairly light it was considered advisable, when a good way down the coast, to run for shelter. Consequently the vessel put into shore close to Titahi Bay, where she remained till the sea moderated. The Kapiti arrived in Wellington shortly after 11 o'clock this morning, and will sail again this evening for Wanganui
