ISLAND FRUIT.
A ERECTED BY HURRICANE
WELLINGTON, January 23
Tlie hurricane, conditions around I* ij’ reported from Apia last week are confirmed by tbe master of tbe Government motor ship Maui Pomare. After being forced out of Apia last week, t;r .Maui Pomare stood out to sea in hopes of being able to return and complete her loading ot bananas, but was ilor<ed tli von nil continuance of bad weather to abandon tlie remainder of her cargo and proceed to Niue. Unlbrtunateh the gale in a very severe form swept Niue on Friday night, with consider able damage to the plantations. Latest advices received from Hie Maui Pomare by the Cook .Islands Do partinent indicate that the ship is stil unable to load fruit owing to lieav.seas sweeping the landing at AI on. [if this weather continues over to-day the whole of the Niue fruit for ship mflit, will be too ripe for loading, am' it is probable that the Maui Pomare will proceed to southern ports with a greatly reduced fruit cargo. Preseir: prospects for an improvement m tlr weather are not good.
