FOG AT LYTTELTON
SHIPPING DISORGANISED. (Per United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, June S. The heavy fog which prevailed at Lyttelton to-night disorganised shipping departures to a considerable extent. The ferry steamer Wahine was ready to sail at 8.30, but it was impossible from the wharf to see the lights on the moles, much less to pick up the leading lights in the harbour. The Wahine was therefore delayed until the fog should lift, of which there was no sign at 11 p.m. Other vessels which could not get away were the Calm, for Wellington ; the Breeze, for Picton; the Houto, for Dunedin, and the Ngakuta, for Greymouth. At midnight the fog was still very dense at sea, but seemed to be lifting slightly in port. None of the shipping mentioned had ijot out at midnight.
