No damage was caused in either case and the ships proceeded on their journeys. Soundings were taken before the vessels sailed and were satisfactory, but as is often the case with westerly weather, there were occasional major swells which struck the boats, causing them to pitch and plough deep into the water. Both ships were fairly heavily laden. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS Auckland. —Oct. 15: Sailed, Awahou, G. 45 p.m„ for Gisborne.
