STORM AT AUCKLAND.—Two vessels were damaged on Sunday through breaking away from their moorings in the heavy seas. The damaged railings of the excursion boat Rangitoto are shown in the top picture. She broke away from her moorings in Shoal Bay and fouled the ketch Rira. In the bottom picture the damaged bowsprit of the large keel yacht Viking is seen. She was moored near the eastern tide deflector and, after being adrift, came to rest at the head of King’s wharf, where she was rescued and taken to safety.
