A Trawl Curiosity.—A novel recovery from Davy Jones’s locker. This interesting curio was brought up recently by a fisherman off the Green Island coast. This “ strange animal ”is a quart beer bottle, the lower portion of which is encrusted with barnacles ranging in size from 1½ in at the base to me re specks round the neck. The bottle is of the dark brown colour familiar to many, and is intact in every’ way. Even the cap was in its proper place, giving momentary hopes that the contents had not been broached, but this illusion was quickly dispelled.
