FOG-BOUND SWANSEA. SAD FATALITY AT THE DOCKS. I IXPERIKNCIS AT LIGHTHOUSE. The fog wave which enveloped Swansea on Saturday was not local by any means, and it was responsible for dislocating traffic i;. all pari-s and the loss of at least four lives. Once or twioe on Saturday it seemed in Swansea as though the wave would lift, but this was only temporarily. In the even- ing; strange to say, one could frequently see the moon, which showed the shallow depfh cf the fog. Passing along Oxford-street at half-past eight the fog suddenly lifted from the town-end and there was the usual spec- taele for a. time of a clear view from Dil street to Messrs. David Evans, whilst m other direction one could not yards down Lower Oxford-street. ally the fog in the lower end of t e o lifted, only, however, to come on ag short time as dense as ever. -u+Viruise The foghorn at th. Mumbles was kept sounding trom 6 a.m. on „„ti, 9.30 on Sanday morning, and one o_ ligMhonM keepers told a Daily pcrter that during the whole o h. 21 exnerience he never rememnered the og bring SO dense. So great was it that the lighthouse keeper standing on his iront door ernld not see the 8,000 candle power light "Uni, only a glare. The distance would not be more than 100 yards. On Sunday a thick misty rain began <o fall in the later part of the mormngat Swansea, and continued until the evening, when it cleared, but the fog came on again later; it was not, however, of each denw-y as on Saturday. No one remembers snc.h a dense og e veioping Swansea for such a length o ime M it did last week-end.
