HIGH SEAS.
EXPERIENCES OF SHIPPING.
A strong gale from between south-west and west set in on Saturday morning, accompanied by heavy rain squalls, which continued at intervals during the day and evening, and throughout yesterday.;. Some of the squalls" were of terrific violence, and raised a very heavy sea in the harbour. " The gale has extended right across the Tasman Sea, as the s.s. Miowera, which arrived from Sydney yesterday, met with it shortly after leaving Sydney on Wednesday afternoon last, and carried it until getting under the shelter of the land upon rounding the North Cape. - The gale was accompanied by a very high confused sea, especially during the last two days of the passage. _' ... The s.s. Waikare, which left Gisborne for Auckland at twenty minutes to twelve a.m. on Saturday, met with the gale upon rounding the East Cape; and it did not moderate until port was made, at twenty minutes past four p.m. / yesterday, the steamer's progress having been greatly retarded by the extreme severity of the weather. ;-■ ': -' ' : ' •
