Alma Baker, rubber planter and big-game fisherman, can persuade Mr Zane Grey, the American author and noted fisherman, says a message from Darwin, the pair may test the potentialities of Australian waters from that port. ‘Mr Alma Baker is bound for Nerv Zealand, Avhere he expects to meet Mr Zane Grey. He Avas a noted polo, player, and mav has tin and rubber interests in the Federated Malay States. Mr Baker states that the reason for the reputed lack of big-game fish in Australian Avaters, such as the mako shark and swordfish, is that the water is too Avarm. Big fish are never found in tropical Avaters, because they contain a very limited food supply.
