Sharks
Sir .—While looking from a porthole of the Maori several miles outside Lyttelton heads on the morning of January 30, I saw a black dorsal fin approaching me at speed from the direction of New Brighton- A few yards from the ship the fish surfaced and rolled on to its side, and for a moment I saw a plump, brownish-black, porpoise-like body, 8-10 ft in length. Was this a shark?—Yours, etc., OBSERVER. February 18, 1964.
