SHIPPING DELAYED BY BAD WEATHER.
ULIMAROA HAS ROUGH TRIP FROM SYDNEY Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, August 4. With about fifteen feet of her starboard rails near the after hatch bent inwards and the iron stanchions twisted out of alignment as the result of a heavy sea coming aboard at nine o'clock last night, the Ul-imaroa arrived from Sydney at 11.20 a.m. to-day, over four hours behind schedule time. Captain Wyllie, the master, said the trip had been one of the worst for years, a bitterly cold wind with biting rain squalls blowing throughout and high seas repeatedly breaking over the ship. The Wainui, en route from Melbourne to the Bluff, wirelessed that she was experiencing a hard southerly and heavy seas and that yesterday she was hove-to for a time.
