A writer in the Nelson Colonist says “ We cannot stand our own Capt. Edwin and Mr Wragge in one winter. They must divide their forces, for since Mr Wrogge laid down his new 24 inch water-pipe we have figuratively been living in a water butt. Mr Wragge’s last consignment came duly to hand?viz,, three water-spouts complete, two typhoons with earthquake attachments, four superior thunderstorms jewelled with lightning in every hole, and enough wind to blow New Zealand inside out. We do not think we shall require more, until we have dug ourselves out; but should like to know if all our last consignment was f.o.b. During the summer months we could place a few firstclass Queensland thunderbolts, and if Mr Wragge has a second-class ‘ Aurora Australis,’ colors warranted not to fade, we know of a good market. Our Captain Edwin will shortly ■visit Australia with assorted ‘ southerly busters’ and Antarctic butt-enders, and with a reasonable concession in the tariff, no doubt ft lively business might be done.
