WELLINGTON, This Day.
A bottle cast into the sea from Queen Charlotte’s Head has been picked up by a Chatham Islands resident two months later. The finder sent a letter to the Hon. W. H. MacIntyre, M.L.C., who cast the bottle adrift, adding that he found 2J ounces of ambergris nearby. The bottle covered a distance of at least 425 miles. Mr Maclntyre sent in acknowledgement another bottle, this time by post and containing a cordial message with a Highland flavour.
