GALE IN WELLINGTON
COASTAL SHIPPING DELAYED (Peb United Pbess Association.) WELLINGTON, June 15. A heavy southerly delayed coastal shipping in Wellington to-day, the departure of three vessels being postponed until to-morrow. The Totara for New Plymouth,, the Kini for Greymouth, and the Inaha for Patea were unable to sail, and the liner Rotorua was delayed for an hour this morning at the heads by the gale. On arrival she had difficulty in berthing at the Pipitea wharf. The Canadian Cruiser also had difficulty in berthing at the same wharf. Two motor tankers, the Pulpit Point and the New Zealand, were also affected. The Pulpit Point, which was to move to Burnham wharf, remained , at Point Howard wharf, where the New Zealand was to berth. The latter, therefore, remained anchored.
The Maui Pomare, which was taken this morning to Evans Bay to go on the slip, had to return to her berth. She will go on the slip as soon as the weather abates.
