On Friday evening a fringe of .fiamo a mile long advanced slowly down on the town, and was watched .by hundreds of people.

Tho natural bush nnd plantations destroyed will take years to replace. Late on Friday night tho heat became intense and continued yesterday, and with tho dense smoko hanging, over tho district and town existenco was niado almost intolerable.
