FISHERMAN'S DISCOVERY. . Auckland. May 25. When 'Mr D. W. T. Evans, fisherman, Graham’s Beach, was fishing in Manukau Harbour this morning, he saw an object floating in the water, and when he had retrieved it he found it was sack enveloping a bucket into which the body of a month-old Maori boy child had been jammed. It is understood that accompanying the body was a piece of paper with a date written on it, a circumstance which may help the police in their inquiries. Mr Evans saw 1 something floating over a sandbank where the water is about four feet deep. He started the engine of his launch and drew alongside the sack, thinking it was empty, but when he. hauled it on board he was astonished to. find the body of the dead child, which had apparently been in the water for some time. The spot where he mad e his discovery is about five or six miles from Oneliunga wharf.
