TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS LYING ON THE SEA-BEACH FOR MONTHS!
That most valuable substance, ambergris, which has recently been found near Kaipara in such large quantities by a native who on bearing that the others had already, if not previously, seen the mischief that might easily have occurred, or on the other hand might have been overlooked, declined to negotiate, and for many years lay desolate, until a settler hearing that a prohibition order had been granted divided the whole thing and got away with the proceeds.
