LETTEES

Dear Fairiel, —Last Saturday Audrey took Eoyco and me down to sco the Japanese warships. ' Two Doctors showed us all over the ship Yakumo. It was nice (o sco the big guns and all tho sailors doing their work, preparing to go away. Tho doctors gave us a silk flag each, four postcards, a Japanese coin, and two pretty serviettes. [We did not see the Prince, and I would have liked to have seen a live Prince. Our new headmaster arrived at school on Monday, and he seems nice already. Good night, Fairiol, "JOYBELL." Kaiwarra. Dear Fairiel, —This morning our hay was a perfect picture. Tho water was quito calm and clear, just liko gass. The boats were all roilected in tho water and there were such a lot of big fish about, you could see them jumping out of the sea. It would have been lovely out fishing.—Lovo from , VALERIE. Evans Bay. '■■■'■•' Dear Fairiel, —This afternoon I went to see tho water nymphs and tame sea lions. They were.simply wonderful, and

awfully, clever, and tho sea lions did anything you ask them to do. They woro in a, glass tank which hold 6000 gallons of water. There was also a picture called "Something Always Happens." It was a ghost-like picture, and very thrilling. ■ To-day as I was waiting for the bus at the top of Kelburn I saw a. fire at Petone. I don't know what it was burning. It may havo been a house; It looked very big and the flames were very high. I havo seen tho city at night with all the lights shining. It looks very beautiful, especially around Oriental Bay, where tho lights, gleam into the water like pearly shells. One night as we were coming homo from my cousin's place at Khandallah in our car my brother and I tried to make letters and signs out of tho lights. One night wo mado out a sort of a picture of a rowing-boat with..a man at each end rowing. .It looked so realistic.. The lights around Muritai and Petono are also very pretty. ■' ■ '■■ •'■- • ERIC PICOT. Karori.
