LYTTELTON NEWS.
The Weather. , A strong south-easterly gale, with heavy rain and hail, completely spoiled the holiday yesterday. , The Lyttelton -Golf Club's closing day was postponed until the weekend, and the Yacht Club's opening day picnic was abandoned. Shop Gutted. Fire gutted a fish restaurant in Norwich quay yesterday. Passers-by noticed thick smoke in the shop about 2.25 p.m., and gave the alarm. Although the fire had a big hold and a strong gale was blowing, the brigade quickly checked the outbreak, but not before the interior of the premises was gutted. The shop, which was a lock-up one, was owned and occupied by Mrs E. Thomas. Mrs Thomas had not been on the premises since 2 a.m. yesterday, and the cause of the fire, which broke out in a middle room, is not known. The shop was insured, but particulars were not available last night.
