TINS OF OPIUM.
ATTACHED TO LIFEBUOYS. While two fishermen were returning across Port Phillip Bay to Queensclifi, Victoria, recently they picked up two lifebuoys which were floating in the navigation channel. Attached to the lifebuoys were 80 tins of opium. The opium was handed to the police at Queensclifi. It is thought that the lifebuoys were dropped from an inwardbound foreign vessel, as it was passing Queensclifi.
