AMERICAN FISH STORY.
GERMANS GUARDED BY SHARKS. (P«»r Press Association.! WELLINGTON, last night. An amusing example of the kind of '"news" forwarded to British papers from American sources is furnished by the following extract from the Edinburgh Scotsman : — ' ' NEW YORK, Nov. 6. The White Star liner Delphic, which arrived here to-day froni Auckland with 6000 tons of beef, reported that there are 5000 German residents m Now Zealand prisoners of war. They axe literally guarded by sharks. The island upon which the Teutons are isolated is not a long swim from the main land, but every man so far who tried to cover the distance was literally gobbled, up by maneaters,; with which the waters swarm. The prisoners live m houses and tents, and require very few gentries.
