Or, in the South Island, they should be watched in the Alps as, milky or green-tinted, their ice-cold currents race through the gorges. Of forest rivers, the Wanganui is the longest and most famous, perhaps the most beautiful. Near the sea it is simply a broad river, traversed by boats and small steamers, and with grassy banks dotted with weeping willows or clothed with flax and the palm-lily.
It was a dream of a day, the sea like a green-tinted mirror, the sky blue as paint, and the softest little breath of air floating off the land to us. We were perhaps ten miles offshore. The enchanted land lay before us and our troubles behind us or so we thought and yet we were many of us disappointed. After our more than three thousand miles we had not even caught sight of a U-boat.
But the weirdest effect, and the most enchanting is that produced by the diffused light of the low afternoon sun; no single ray is able to pierce its way in, then, but the diffused light takes color from moss and foliage, and pervades the place like a faint, green-tinted mist, the theatrical fire of fairyland.
