Iliddler, of Ngahauranga, has completed negotiations with the Marine Department for removing the carcase. He lias made a deposit as a guarantee that ho will remove all traces of the animal to- the’ satisfaction of the department as quickly as possible.
is understood Mr Riddler intends tc cut the whale up and remove it to Ngahauranga, where it will be boiled down.j On 'Sunday it is estimated that £0 people went out to Dyall Bay to see the big creature, and the increase in the tramway revenue over that line for the week has been very great in consequence.
