WARNING SHOT
AUCKLAND HARBOUR INCIDENT [United Press Association] AUCKLAND, 24th October. The sound of a shot echoed round the harbour early this morning, and later an Auckland fisherman, D. H. Whitelaw, said he was fired upon while passing North Head in his fishing launch for the fourth time in recent months. He said he handles his launch, a converted lifeboat, alone, and in certain weather I difficulty in coming alongside the examination vessel. He thought the authorities knew his boat, and this morning he started to come in the same way as he had done six times before.
