DUN MOUNTAIN TRAMP
At 6 o’clock yesterday morning about. 40 teachers, taking their breakfast and lunch with them, ascended the Dun Mountain. Dr. Marshall, who is lecturing to (lie School on geology, accompanied the party t-o the summit. Breakfast was eaten at Coates’s Creek, and lunch there again on the return journey. At the summit Dr. Marshall delivered an impromptu lecture consisting of a few observations on several kinds of rock picked up. By means of a pocket instrument the Doctor measured the angle between a line down from the summit to the boulder bank and the horizon at sea level. This was found to be only 4.75 per cent., much to the disappointment of the Hampers,, who thought, the amount of energy, they had expended deserved a more elevated position.
