Whilst sheltering, a sailing boat passed north, which .was probably the scow Rangi. On Saturday morning the weather moderated a little, and a start was again made, only for the vessel to run into the teeth of a howling southerly buster, and a very anxious time was experienced until she battled her way down to the entrance of the Bay- on .Sunday evening. Even then, owing to the thick weather, the way into the Bav could not be seen, and it was 11 o’clock yesterday- morning before she was able to make her way” to the wharf.
