1. The scow Fahiki loaded with shingle, driven up beyond high water mark at the end of Beaumont Street, Ponsonby. She was berthed at the end of the Gas Company’s jetty, and the above picture shows her destination after the gale. 2. The motor launch Sceptre, which was washed ashore on the beach at the foot of Sentinel Road, Ponsonby. 3. The fine launch Waiouru, owned by Mr. C. Hansen, of Waiouru, lying off St. Mary’s Point, Fonsonby, among the debris which was scattered along the beach and at the water’s edge, being all that was left of many well-known Auckland launches. The Waiouru does not appear to be badly damaged in the picture, but such is far from being the case as she was driven ashore at a particularly dangerous point, sustaining considerable damage to her far side. 4. A scene at the embankment near Cutrran Street, Fonsonby. on the morning after the storm. 5. The scow Onerahi, loaded with iron girders for the Tauranga bridge, was carried from her anchorage, and is shown piled up broadside on the skids at the back of Parker and Lamb’s mill. 6. A close view of the scow Onerahi, showing the damage sustained to her hull.
