HEAVY SEAS AT WELLINGTON
WASHOUTS ON RAILWAYS. [Pe- Press Association.] WELLINGTON, Oct. 29. Minor washouts were caused at three points between Kaiwarra and Petone by heavy seas in the harbour last night. Though the railway lines were not affected, the damage ■ was sufficiently serious to necessitate Immediate repairs, consequently all rail traffic had to be switched on to one set of rails, greatly hampering the service.
The trouble was more noticeable owing to the heavy passenger traffic to the Trcntham races.
