KINGFISH LANDED
CATCH IN THE HARBOUR \Y ith skill and determination that would have done credit to Zane Grov, an angler on the watorfront road on Saturday afternoon landed a large kingfish in the presence of an admiring crowd. Fishing from the first bridge on the city side of Ornkei, the angler managed to foul-hook the fish. Other fishermen hauled in their lines to watch the struggle. The shouts of small hoys attracted the attention of passing motorists, and in a very few minutes dozens of people had lined the railings to cheer the angler to victory. The fish "liored" and struggled, but it was firmly hooked, and after a game light of over 20 minutes, during which the angler had to walk over the rocks for about oO yards, it was finally hauled ashore, amid loud applause and cheers from the onlookers.
