HOOKED, BUT ESCAPED.
ZANE GREY'S FIRST SWORDFISH. OTHER CATCHES AT RUSSELL. ,'By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) RUSSELL, this day. Mr. Zane Grey hooked his first swordfish to-day, but was unfortunate in losing it. It was a fine fish and kept him busy for some time, when the hook came out and it escaped. Captain Mitchell, of Mr. Grey's party, caught a 3501b hammerhead shark. Mr. Greenwood, of Hawke's Bay, fishing from the launch Speedwell, landed a 2311b swordfish and another weighing 2131b was caught by an English visitor, Mr. Goldsmith, from the launch Doris. Commander Struben, of Capetown, was the captor of a large reremai, or grey nurse shark.
