Captain Doile informs us that the main channel entrance to our river is completely blocked up, and that the north channeljis the only available entrance. On Sunday morning' there was 10ft of water in this channel, and this morning in crossing at a hour before high water, there was ascertained to be only 7ft depth. The Stormbird dragged heavily In coming through. The s.s. Wallabi with a cargo of live stook sailed this forenoon for Greymouth taking advantage of the light South-Easterly breeze which will afford her a quick passage to her destination. The Wallabi may be expected back about Sunday, and if the present fine weather should continue she will make another trip to the South before going to Auckland, , ,
