HEAVY SEAS
MINOR WASHOUTS AT PETONE. RAILWAYS DISORGANISED. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, October 29. Minor washouts were caused at three points between Kaiwaria and Petone by heavy seas in the harbour last night. Though the railway lines were not affected the damage was sufficiently serious to necessitate immediate repairs. Consequently all rail traffic had to be switched on to one set of rails, greatly hampering the sendee. The trouble was more noticeable owing to the heavy passenger traffic to the Trentham races.
