(N.Z. Press Association)
INVERCARGILL, May 19. Eighteen families stepped ashore at Bluff last night from the Stewart Island ferry Wairua after 10 weeks on the isolated Muttonbird Islands. The muttonbirders, about 40 adults and their children, brought with them about 60 tons of tinned and salted birds. Several hundred birders enjoyed a season which was described by some as “one of the better ones.” Most birders came back to the mainland last week and the arrivals last night were 'the last to leave the islands.
