OVER PLAINS AND CLOUDS. — The normal weather course taken by the trunk air-mail liners between Blenheim and Christchurch runs between the seaward and inner Kaikouras. Here the machines fly at heights up to nine and ten thousand feet, on a level with the highest peak, Tapuaenuku, often high above great banks of clouds, as seen in the picture on the left. From the air the most surprising feature of a Canterbury river is the great area over which the river sprawls, covering with deep shingle thousands of acres between mountains and the sea. One of these rivers is seen in the picture above.
