It began about 8 o'clock on Sunday evening and lasted . through - out the night. “Most of us ‘had the wind up’ properly,” said one of the passengers on the Maheno, which arrived yesterday. “I have never seen such continuo-us lightning, and it was accompanied by reports like cannon. A thunder-bolt fell into the sea some distance from the ship and made a terrific explosion."
