A sanrise of exceptional grandeur wbb witnessed n Wellington one morniDg lasb week, says the "Post." First t!i« whole of the eastern sky plowed a bril liant crimson as if reflecting a trerocndou3 conflagration. Then appeared all he colours of the rainbow, the effec being heightened by the gradual changing of the hues. As the sun crept higher, and just beforß it peeped over the hilltopp, clouds gathered in masses, rolls, folds, and wares blazing with gold acd {aged with, crimson, whilst at irregulf t intervals glimpses of bine sky of peculiar tints appeared in streaks. The harbour, calm as a mill-pond, reflected all the varying colours, at one time somewhat resembling a sea of blood, then changing , to a mirror of gold, A few minutes and there were only dull leaden clouds— all the beauty of the sight had vanished. |
