HEAVIEST FOR YEARS.
FOG MET AT NAPIER.
(From Our Correspondent.) NAPIER, Monday.
The heaviest fog for the past year partly obscured the Dominion Monarch when she arrived at Napier this morning from Auckland. She dropped anchor in the roadstead, where she will be loading until to-morrow night, when she will sail for Wellington for final dispatch to Southampton and London. The vessel made a leisurely voyage from Auckland and when rounding Portland Island ran into a thick bank of fog. She was stopped completely for an hour about 17 miles from Napier, after which the voyage was resumed. For the greater part of the morning she was enveloped in fog at her age, but later in the day an uninterrupted view was obtained. About 160 visitors were taken by launch to the vessel to-day, and 150 more will be the guest* of Captain H. W. Hartman at luncheon to-morrow.
