SHIPS DELAYED
ROUGH SEAS AT GREYMOUTH (0.0.) GREYMOUTH, Tuesday Hough sens on the bar continue to delay shipping at Greymouth, ami it is now over a week since the port: has been workable for the larger vessels, the longest continuous period of rough seas for some time. There has been ample water on the bar under normal sen conditions, but the swell and subsequently breakers, have made shipping movements impossible. The largest and the smallest vessels in port have been awaiting the moderation of the seas for a week and a day. Another has been delayed since Thursday night and a fourth since Saturday afternoon. With an improvement in the weather to-dny, it is hoped tho sens will have moderated sufficiently to allow the vessels to got away to-morrow.
