Mr A. B. Williams, of Tokomara Bay, while fishing off Capo Brett this week, hooked thre swordfish in one day. Two got away and the other, 2101bs, gave an exciting battle for half an hour with frantic rushes at a terrific pace, jumping out of the water no fewer than 18 times and making a dash for the boat. It drove its spear into the stern of tho launch and broke off portion of the woodwork.
