An interesting find recalling the whaling days of a century ago in Hawke’s Bay has been made at Cape Kidnappers by two Hastings residents Messrs. Neil, Murton and S. W. Baldwin. After extensive excavations they uncovered three large round castiron melting-down —or trying-pots which are in a good state ol preseivation. A fourth pot of square design, and made of different material, was almost entirely corroded. The site of the discovery is on Ocean Beach about one and a-half miles irom Cape Kidnappers and about 300 yards from the boiler of the Go-Ahead, which was wrecked in 1887 nLer stranding on the reef.
