FOG IN THAMES DISTRICT.
MOTORISTS UNABLE TO MOVE.
CAR RUNS OFF A BRIDGE.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] THAMES, Saturday.
Motorists from Mercury Bay to-day and yesterday report exceptionally heavy fogs, which were so thick that they found it impossible to proceed on their way. Yesterday morning the heavy fish lorry which brings supplies to the railhead was compelled to wait an hour, while this morning a delay of two hours was necessary.
The mist was pa.rticularly heavy at Coroglen, where it had a peculiar woolly appearance. . A commercial traveller's car ran off a bridge near Whitianga into a deep drain, the driver not being able to see tho road. Although considerably shaken', the driver was not injured. An old resident likened the fog to that, experienced after the Tarawera eruption, which also lasted for several days.
