HAWKE’S BAY FLOODS.
THE WATERS RECEDING. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) NAPIER, Saturday. The flood waters have receded considerably all over the district except on the Panowhai Road, the inland route from Napier to Hastings, where it is feared that the Ngaruroro has made a serious scour, which is said by some to amount to a new course for that river. The road is still covered, although only for a short stretch. While the river proper has fallen considerably, the current of water across the road at, Darby is much higher and quite impassable for all traffic. The amount of general damage reported is small, but isolated cases of loss of crops, etc., are coming to hand. The weather is fine, and all rivers are receding.
