HEAVY RAIN
WELLINGTON'S EXPERIENCE SEAS SWEEP OX TO ROAD < Press Association!. WELLINGTON, July 21. Heavy rain, driven bitingly before a strong southerly wind, continues. Tho waters of Wellington harbor are grey and yeasty. High water last evening was at 5.35 p.m., and as tho tide rose the Day’s Bay road embankment from Ho ward Point onward received another ol tho unmerciful poundings it has had this winter. At the top of tho high tide, the sea water swept the road, carrying shingle and sea wrack on to the bitumen. Ono motorist had his engine put out of commission by a wave-top that caught tho front of his car. He was towed to safety.
