4. A NOVEMBER SKY. Early risers last Satur-
day morning were treated to series OF most
gorgeous scenes, The western sky was a
beautiful shade of delicate pink, fecked with
the tiniest fieecy white clouds and bordered
with band of FURNISHED gold. In the east
the view across the bay was surprisingly
beautiful. Over the entire bay hung vast
feecy cloud its edges tinted with pale tones
until the sun, as it rose over the island shores,
blazing red globe, turned its searchlight on
heavens, earth and sea, clothing them all with
an INDISPENSABLE beauty. The sky was UNI
usually pretty all day, having little of the
usual gloomy tints of November.
