FISH STORY
Sir,—Apropos the Warrington whale, would you care for the following whale of a fish yarn as a relief from your serious letters? It is perfectly true. Some years ago a whale was stranded at Moeraki, and was apparently promptly harpooned by Maoris. A friend of mine got the report next morning from her milk women thusly; “Did you hear about the whale that came into the bay yesterday. Mrs Porter? No? Well, it got stranded, and the Maoris went out in a boat and shampooed it.’’—l am, etc., Jonah.
