Heavy weather was encountered on the voyage from Newcastle by the collier Tweeddaie, which berthed at Wellington on Tuesday. The steamer pitched and rolled heavily, and shipped water fore and aft. One wave struck the ship so violently as to cause the cargo to shift, and made the steamer list to port. One of the 'twesn dock ports was stove in, and six feet of water was found in the hold.' The port was plugged from the outside, a difficult feat, which necessitated the vessel being hove to.
