STRANGE VISITOR
SEA LION AT BEACH RESORT ATTRACTION FOR GUESTS [by TELEGHArn —OWN CORURSPONORVtI GISBORNE. Saturday The presence of a sea lion at Tatapouri has attracted a lot of attention from passers by and from those who have made the seaside resort a stopping place. Tho mammal, which was about 4ft. in length and seemed to be in good condition, was very active in the water and on tho beach, and appeared to be quite at home on tho rocks in front of the hotel. When approached by sightseers it showed resentment, but little sign of fear, and a number of men who shepherded it into the old stables on thp roadside almost at high water level found tho proceeding risky enough to bo decidedly interesting, it seems the mammal is not the one found on the beach in that locality a few weeks ago, for it is thoroughly sound, whereas tho other had boon injured by some enemy.
