LYTTELTON NEWS.

Corsiiir Bay. Corsair Bay still maintains its popularity as a week-end hoiiday resort, and every Saturday nnd Sunday many hundreds visit the bay. The water is still remarkably warm, and some leathers remain ill most of the day. Last Sunday sneak thieves were operating ■at the bay. Money, boots, towels, and even shirts were taken irom the men's dressing sheds, while several ladies lost underclothing from the ladies' shed. In one tase suspicion pointed to a well-dressed woman, and she was taxed with having taken articles of fancy underclothing from a fellow-bather who had been in the same dressing-shed. The woman at first denied having taken thp clothes, but when threatened with police intervention she hamded over a parcel containing the missing' articles. Unfortunately for the interest of the general public, the owner, having lecovered her property, was satisfied to allow the matter to drop. Life-Saving and Swimming Instruction. Miss H.
