[ My New Zealand home is in the suburb of Khandallah, or translated, the Home of the gods, being named after a spot in india. The suburb is up in the hills about five miles from the heart of Wellington. On three sides, hills stand protecting the pretty little valley, and the other side overâ€" looks Wellington‘s beautiful harbour, bounded beyond by several ranges of mountains. I might say here that from the mariner‘s viewpoint, this harbour ranks fifth in the world. 1 The next morning the railway ran along a very fine valley finally reachâ€" ing the sea, to wind inland again, through the hills and tunnels, into Wellington. The journey from Auckland, where we landed, to the Capital city, Wel lington, at the very south of the North Island, was very interesting. The train left Auckland about seven o‘clock in the evening. During the night we climbed to the summit of a range of mountains where there was a skiff of snow, and the trains were very cold. Every short distance it seemed to me, the train stopped for ten minutes, to allow passengers who wished tea, to rush out to the re freshment rooms, drink a cup of tea, and rush back again. ‘ After five months in the Dominion of New Zealand, 1 feel at liberty to express myself â€" regarding the cusâ€" toms, conditions, etc., of the country.
