LAKESIDE GUARDIANS LIKE gigantic teeth of some old-time fairy monster, the serrated peaks of the Remarkables show their ivory whiteness to those tourists who come to Lake Wakatipu. The lake is 52 miles . Iong, three miles broad, and is over a thousand feet above sea-level. It is over 1200 feet deep and its bottom is two hundred feet below sea-level. Every five minutes, with the regularity of a heart-beat, there is a rise and fall of three feet in the level of the water, but So'gradual is the movement, that it is imperceptible in its cairn surface. This phenomenon is an unsolved mystery, and the great white Remarkables speak not of it.
