A BLACK FOG
WELLINGTON’S EXPERIENCE. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, June 14. One of the thickest and bleakest fogs experienced in Wellington for a long time descended upon the city and suburbs this morning after a very cold night. It extended over a wide area, reaching nearly as far as Petone. The density was variable, patches being so thick as to make visibility extremely limited. It got thickest between 8 and 9 a.m. On the harbour the fog was very dense and the Eastbourne ferry steamer Muritai, coming across from the Eastbourne side, found all the landmarks blotted out. When she approached the wharves it took some cautious manoeuvring to bring the boat alongside. The Muritai found herself over on the Oriental Bay side of the harbour and had to make her way with care past the Monowai at Queen’s Wharf.
