A sheep-that came unexpectedly into the possession of a party of Auckland motorists returning from Ohope beach, near Whakatane, recently, proved a burden until an ingenious means was found of disposing of it to advantage. The sheep was killed when struck by the car, and the motorists, having recompensated the drover, took possession of the carcase. Having tried unsuccessfully to sell it to a butcher in one of the towns visited, they were at a loss how to dispose of the sheep until a tourist resoTt was reached. .A party of Maoris there, however, gladly accepted the carcase as payment for their-ser-vices as eiudes.
