" ft 11 VJsi ted by a party from ° win ® to the weather conditions an early start was not made and the party did not arrive at the chateau until just on midday. Shortly after the fog lifted, and bv l ie time Taranaki Falls were reached, the atmosphere was clear arid there was a cloudless sky. Little Tama was at a lower level than usual, but his bigger brother, right under Ngarahoe, was at. quite a good level for this season of the year. The track out to these lakes is in beautiful order and the journey can be accomplished in an afternoon. bn Thursday last, Air.
