Hawke's Bay Times. Nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1870.
News of a terrible disaster having befallen a large section of par fellowcolonists at Lyltelton has reached us by telegraph. Two thirds of their town lias, in the short space of a few hours, been reduced to ashes, and numbers of the public rendered at once homeless and destitute. Words fail to tell the amount of affliction and suffering that lias fallen to the lot of many who in the morning dreamt not of the impending evil which, in the evening, deprived theni of their all. Events such as this are calculated to strike a chord pf sympathy in the breasts of the whole community x to any of whom the calamity might have occurred as likely a« to the sufferers. Our telegram announces that subscription lists in aid of the sufferers will at once be opened, and we doubt not; the appeal will be promptly met in a spirit as liberal, as possible on all fya.nds.
