STRONG WESTERLY WINDS.
HEAVY SEA ON WEST COAST.
TWO VESSELS BAR-BOUND.
The strong westerly winds which set in on Wednesday continued throughout yesterday, but no rain fell. A heavy sea was running on.the Manukau Bar in the morning and the Claymore and the Auponri. bound respectively for Hokianga and New Plymouth, were unable to cross. The Rimu, however, also bound for New Plymouth, after shipping a few heavy seas, got across in safety just before five o'clock, when the tide was well on the ebb. It is expected that the sea will have moderated sufficiently to allow the bar-bound steamers to cross at daybreak to-day;
The following weather forecast was issued by Mr. Clement L. Wragge at 7.30 last evening :The recent small disturbance is passing away, and fair to fine weather will now prevail over most parts of the Dominion. The pull of the planets is against any rea'lv pronounced rainfall in the Southern Henrsphere as a whole at this time, and especially so with respect to Australia. South Africa, and South America. Winds still between west-north-west and south-south-west, but inclined to shift later towards south-east. Sea moderate.
