BIG-GAME FISHING
Bad Weather at Whitiangi
Mr. E. J. C. Wiffen, secretary of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society, returned from the north yesterday after spending ten days in camp with Mr. Zane Grey, the well-known novelist and sportsman. “I had had luck with the weather,” said Mr. Wiffen. “On the day I arrived the conditions were not so bad, and we got a mako shark, but that was the only big fish secured the whole time I was there, owing to the weather being so bad. We had a good deal of rain and heavy seas. When I left the boats were pulled up at Whitiangi. and there was nothing doing. Mr. Grey expressed the view that if there were no marked improvement he would probably change camp to the Trevalli Island, off Whangaroa. about 60 miles to the north of Russell.”
