SMOKE OBSCURES SIGNALS
Passengers on the Limited from Wellington this morning saw the effects of the fires which are burning through the Waikato district and along the Main Trunk line. From Te Kuiti as far north as Ngaruawahia the country is coveredv with a dense pall of smoke which stretches for many miles toward the sea coast. The absence of wind keeps the smoke almost stationary, thereby adding to the amazing atmospheric effect. When the Limited pulled out of Frankton Junction this morning to continue her journey to Auckland, she went very slowly as the smoke was so thick that it was impossible to see the signals.
