THE ALPINE TOURISTS.
The Rev, W. S. Green, says the Otago Daily Times , whose recent successful ascent of Mount Cook will perpetuate his name in this colony, is the guest of Mr. Hodgkins, during his stay in Dunedin. We have had the pleasure of seeing some exquisite water-colour sketches of points of the magnificent alpine scenery through which he passed in his dangerous, toilsome, and memorable ascent of the loftiest peak in Australasia. These views are exceedingly picturesque, and have been capitally executed by Mr Green. One of the most remarkable of them represents an[immense ice-field, overwhich they had to cut tracks with their iceaxes ; and another is a view of the place, about 2000 ft from the summit of the motntain, where Mr Green and his guides had to pass the night standing on a narrow ledge.
