Fifteen shipmasters whose vessels have been bin-bound at Greymouth for several days jointly seat the following message recently to the Government Meteorologist; “Port completely blocked. All work ceased. Weather atrocious. Situation desperate. If no change foretold immediately propose take steps have you exiled. Public meeting to ho held here. District is starving. Hiot probable. Forecasts too correct.” Mr Bates replied, unofficially: “After three weeks you can surely hold out, about another thirty hours.” The shipmasters responded as follows: “Thanks for encouraging telegram. Feel intensely pleased that you have forecasted the probable extent of our misery. If it proves as reliable as all recent forecasts all delighted.” The Auckland yachtsmen have boon similarly facetious and have pleaded for mercy. You can easily get rid cf that cold by taking Tonking’s Linseed Emulsion. From all chemists and stores— Is 6d, 2s 6d, 4s 6d.*
