The following telegram appeared in the Post of Friday last :— Yesterday the bush near Carterton (Province of Wellington) caught fire, and the flame 3 rapidly spread. Towards the evening the wind blew strongly in the direction of the town, and at 10 o'clock the buildings on the outskirts, including the railway station and telegraph offices, were in immediate danger. The (settlers mustered in strong force, aud worked like slaves to save the threatened buildings, relays of men with wet blankets mounting the roofs to prevent the showers of sparks setting fire to the shingles. One house was on fire three times, but the energetic action of the meu prevented any serious damage being done. Soon afterwards, the railway station, post office, police station, and several other buildings caught fire almost simultaneously, and it was only by almost superhuman efforts that they were saved from entire destruction. At this critical juncture water began to be scarce, aud it was realised with dismay that the Mastertou engine, which had been sent for, would bo of little or no use when it arrived, and the order was, therefore, countermanded. For a short time it seemed as if thQ town must be given to the flames, for without water the efforts of the settlers were of little avail, the wooden buildings having become so dry and heated that a spark was sufficient to set fire to them. Fortunately the wind whicli had been coming in puffs for some lime, suddenly fell, and, seinvigorated by hope, the tired men once more put forth every effort, .i.nd succeeded in driving the fire back from the most dangerous places. The bush was still burning furiously, but the wind keeping down, it did not spread, and the town was saved. A watch was set, and kept up all night, one party keeping the fire in check while the other slept as well as they could, but no further accident occurred. The illumination was terribly grand. Acres of bush on both sides of the town were on fire, and presented the appearance of solid masses of flame, but the damage done is very much slighter than might have been expected. As it is, the railway station contractor is the heaviest loser, the settlers' chief losses consisting in the fencing destroyed. The escape of the town was little short of miraculous, for when the wind fell, the flames had all but reached several of the buildings nearest the bush.
