Sublime Egmont.
I "'Japanese sailors in steamers orosj sing the Tasman Sea have been known i to go down on their knees in worshipful obeisance at the sight of Taranaki''} snowy peak rising from the waters, because it reminded them so of their own sacred Fujiyama," writes "Tangiwai," in the New Zealand Railways Magazine, July issue. "When the two Japanese warships left Wellington lately for Fiji, Admiral Imamura took his course up the west coast in order to get a close view of the mountain of which he had heard so much from earlier naval visitors. He so timed his departure, apparently, as to be off the Taranaki coast at daylight in the morning. I should like to have been on board the Japanese ships that morning when the glorious peak stood revealed with the first of the sunlight setting its snows aglow."
