WELLINGTON, Tuesday. One of the thickest and densest fogs experienced in Wellington for a long time, descended upon the city and suburbs this morning.' After a very cold night it extended over a wide area, reaching nearly as far as Petone. The density was variable, patches being so thick as to make visibility extremely limited. . The fpg was thickest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. on the harbour. It was so dense that the Eastbourne ferry steamer, Muritai, coming across from Eastbourne found all landmarks hlocked out when she approaelied the wharf, and it took some cautious manouvering to bring the boat alongside. The Muritai found herself at the Oriental Bay side of the harbour, and had to make her way with care p*ist the Monowai at the Queen's Wharf before entering her berth.
