CHARM OF DOMINION
FISHING VISIT EXTENDED TOURISTS STAY FOR 11 YEARS How he and his "wife came to New Zealand a number of rears ago for six months' trout fishing and \rere so charmed with the country that they remained for 11 years, was related in Wellington by Mr. P. E. Suttie, a retired jute merchant, who arrived with Mrs. Suttie in the Rangitane. Mr. Suttie has been absent from New Zealand for four years, and has now settled in Jersey. He and Mrs. Suttie found that New Zealand was a very long way from their family, so reluctantly left the home they had established at Papatoetoe. Now they have returned to fish for trout again. Mr. Suttie mentioned that he had become so enamoured with Papatoetoe as a residential district that he had written an article for the journal published by the Overseas League, with headquarters in London, extolling the virtues of the suburb as a locality suited to people desiring to retire, and offering to furnish further information. He now regretted his enthusiasm, for he had been flooded with inquiries, and; had to submit to an enormous correspondence with people in many parts of the Old Country and beyond.
