FLOOD DANGER PAST.

Trains from Greymouth to the east are getting through, and the express is expected to keep, schedule time-table to-day.
There are nine slips on the OtiraKumara road, which will he closed for several days. Railway and road connections between Greymouth and Reefton are now normal.
