FOGS DELAY TRAFFIC.
EXPERIENCE NEAR THAMES
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) THAMES, Saturday,
For the past two mornings exceptionally heavy fogs have been experienced. at Mercury Bay. Fish lorries with supplies for Thames have been unable to proceed until the mist has cleared. The fogs had a most pcculiai woolly appearance, and it was most difficult to breathe. The fogs were particularly heavy over Coroglen. One lorry driver had to wait there for an hour yesterday and two hours to-day before he could travel in safety. One resident recalls a similar experience after the Tarawera eruption. A car driven by a traveller for a firm of tobacco merchants was returning to Thames, when it ran off the bridge at Mr. Lower's farm, near Kairnarama. The driver received a shaking but the car was salvaged undamaged. A number of people have been affected by the fog.
