Detectives at the Central Police Station, Christchurch, were puzzled when a young man walked into the station on Monday night and produced a live penguin he had found in Manchester Street. The penguin was not in the least affected by his surroundings. He inspected each person in the room in turn and then paraded in dignified waddle up and down the bench. After the detectives had shown their most re-c-ent arrest to other members of the force, and after a photograph had been taken of the penguin posing proudly on a New Zealand Government chair, the young man took his capture away to New Brighton.
