A heavy northerly has been' making matters unpleasant for the past week along the East Coast. The Press says that another small steamer which had to put back to port a fteahaving a "tussle" with the northerly gale and sea was the Rob Roy, which left Lyttelton about midnight on Tuesday. She had a rough time outside, and. only got a few miles past Stonyiiurst, when her master decided to run back to Lyttelton, as his stock of bunker coal was running short. The vessel reached Lyttelton late om Wednesday night, and took in a full supply or coal on Thursday. Tlio Rob Roy resumed her passage to Wellington when the weather moderated.
