LOST, A HURRICANE.
—o — At 2 u.m. on Wednesday we received the following wire from the Secretary, G.P.0.,, Wellington:— ‘‘ Weather reporter advices E. and S.E. and 8. gale after 10 hours from now, probably increasing to hurricane force. There will be a rapid fall of barometer; probably rainfall heaviest known, and great floods in rivers. Make this as public as possible.” The above message caused no little consternation in the township. But the “schism” didn’i come at
all; as a matter of fact, the weather was unusually pleasant. Perhaps the Kidnappers collared our share of the hurricane, if it came to this colony, A bit of it appears to have visited Taupo, and the other portion “ recurved ” north of A ucklahd. A facetious local Sedd.onite believes that the Premier would have none of it, and immediately stamped it out, and that if so he ought to be banquetted.
