In Sir Aim eric Fitzroy’s “ Memoirs,' ’ which have just been published (writes a London correspondent) there is a reference to the late Sir James Forgusson’s death in the Jamaican earthquake, 1907: “An extraordinary incident occurred in connection with Sir J. Fcrgusson’s death. Charles Fergusson (now Governor-General of New Zealand) was on his way up to London by the night express when, in a most vivid dream, he saw his father killed in an earthquake. So strong was the impression that for the greater part of the journey his mind was occupied with revolving the consequences and estimating what he would have to do. . . . The first thing the following morning lie was called to the telephone morning he was called to the telephone to hear from his servant the announcement of his father’s death. The dream further proved to have taken place at the exact time of the earthquake.” The shipping trouble is likely to have a serious effect on the reticulation work now being carried out by the Auckland Power Board. Large quantities of cable for which delivery is due, are either held up at foreign ports on account of the British seamen’s strike, or still remain in the holds of the ships laid up at Auckland and Wellington. Those in close touch with the export trade at Auckland have no anxiety over the shipping hold-up. They do not, as a matter of fact, think the strike is likely to last much longer. Their chief concern is whether the delay to which overseas ships have already been subjected may mean a shortage of insulated tonnage at the height of the season, and thus prejudice marketing airangements.
