“WELLINGTON LIKE KOBE”
JAPANESE NAVAL MEN CHARMED. Japanese officers on the flagship Asaina were not backward in expressing their admiration of the beauty of Wellington. Ono of the chief officers was loud in his expressions of approval of the harbour, which was looking at its best when the warships arrived, and pointing to Mount Victoria, where the residences rise terrace on terrace or. the sunlit mountain-;ide. he said that it reminded him of Kobo, in Japan. "New Zealand like Japan for earthquakes, too,” said anojther officer, with a twinkle in his -.ye, but he was given the asusrance that earthquakes here were not in tho same category as they are in Japan. No visitor from the shore deemed it advisable to refer to the breezes from the north-west which at times ruffle the surface of the bay.
