OTHER VESSELS IN THE GALE.
THE MOURA HAS A ROUGH TRIP. [BX TELEGRAPH.OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Gisborne, Monday.; The weather, which has been consistently bad for more than a week, still continues cold and boisterous, though there are occasional indications of the southerly gale having blown itself out. A high sea is still running off the coast, seriously interfering with shipping operations. The s.s. Moura had an exceedingly rough trip from Auckland. Leaving the Northern port at one p.m. on Saturday, she had a moderately fine passage to the East Cape, which was passed at eight p.m. yesterday, but thence to Gisborne high seas were experienced. The steamer made very slow headway, and did not reach jjort till six p.m. The sea in the roadstead being too heavy to allow the vessel to be worked, she was signalled to remain till morning, and was tendered at eight o'clock this morning, when the passengers, mails, and cargo were transhipped without great difficulty. The jMoura resumed her journey south at aI quarter past ten a.m.
The Union Company's s.s. Whangape, from Wcstport and Wellington with coal, is suffering undue delay owing to the heavy sea preventing the barges being expeditiously worked.
