FLOODS IN THE NORTH!. Press Association. GISBOBNE, March 24. It has been raining steadily for the past three days, and all the rivers and creeks in the district are badly swollen. Owing to a washout on the railway to-day's train for the north could not progress beyond Otoko, a small country centre, and the ' lady passengers had to. be accommodated in the railway camp, while the men of the party had to put up in the railway, cars. The temporary railway bridge across the Waipoua River, on the line to Napier, in course of construction, was carried away to-night. The rain continues steadily, and at Motu seven inches fell in twenty-four hours, while in Gisborne over three inches has fallen in two days. The Turanganui River, on which the port is built, is running high and all vessels have been double moored. A crisis is expected in the harbour when the tide comes in about midnight.

Two launches moored in the harbour were swept out to sea to-night.
