Referring to the land slip at Napier le Hawkes Bay Hofald says :-An im« mense landslip took place yesterday at a ipot fronting the beach olobo to whero the contractors for the breakwater have been.'trimming down the face of the cliff, Nothing approaching acourato measurements of the mass which has Men have been made, but rough computations make it run into hundreds of thousands of tons. The fall took place at about half-past five o'olook in the evening, fortunately after the men had knocked off work. The fall was seen from the by' soyeral persons, They desoribe the appearance as it the whole side of the cliff had fallen forward, and state that when'the clouds of dust which filled the air had cleared away, a huge bank of debris nearly fifty feet high stretched out from the cliff right into the sea, The crane that was kept there is completely covered up as though no such thing «x. iated, a fact which will give 'an idea of the magnitude of the fall, It is supposed that the operation ot trimming tho^cliff has resulted in opening up a "fault" in the formation into which water has per» ■ colat«d, and that the immonse hydraulio energy thus generated has pushed out the face of the oliff bodily, So far as could ', be ascertained no casualty to life or limb haß resulted from this tremendous land- ' slip, which (s probacy the largest that ' has taken plac,e in New Zealand during < tj\o past twenty years.'
