A startling experience is related by a Wellington builder, who is at present in Eltham, ssys the ' Post.' When the earthquake shock occurred in that town on Monday morning, he and another man were standing on a scaffolding at a building they were erecting. The scaffolding collapsed, and both men were precipitated to the ground. They sustained severe bruises on the body, and one of them was cut about the (ace. The earthquake shock was so violent that a woman in the same town was nearly jerked head first into a tab of water, at which she was washing clothes. Several chimneys were knocked down, and there was a great rattle of crockeryware in many of the houses.

A huge black cloud swept over the township at about fi o'clock, emitting a flash of lightning of a dazzling and startling character, followed by a tremendous explosion. The inhabitants were very terrified, and for a time there was quite a panic. The sky immediately lightened, and the (bonder cloud swept across tha v valley and disappeared. Examination afterwards disclosed the fact that six telegraph posts in the vicinity of the Featherston railway station had snapped short off. It is a remarkable fact that l when the storm swept over Featherston, the remuinder of the valley was quite free from atmospheric disturbanqe. MAKE NO MISTAKE!
