Dunedin - Russell In Thirteen Hours
[Special to "Northern Advocate”] RUSSELL, This Day. Are New Zealanders emulating the American characteristics of hustling? Yesterday a Dunedin party of enthusiastic deep-sea fishermen set a new travel record between that southern town and Russell, covering the distance in exactly thirteen hours. Messrs S. C. Sutherland, W. E. C. Reed and James Monro stepped aboard the north-bound mail plane in Dunedin at 8.30, and, after* making the usual stops, arrived at Auckland at 2.15 p.m. A fourth member of the party, Mr F. E. Ward, of Wellington, was picked up at the capital city. After a meal in Auckland, the party left by car at 3.45 p.m., and arrived at Russell wharf at 9.30. A third mode of travel awaited the party at Russell, as they travelled for a further hour to Otehef Bay Fishing Lodge by the launch Lorna Doone. The party intend putting in a fortnight’s deepsea fishing in the Bay of Islands.
