Largo Octopus Caught
While fishing in the Bovventown Estuary, Auckland, Mr. I. Lloyd captured a large, octopus, which ejected a volume of inky fluid into his eyes and face. Me was momentarily blinded and it was not until he got ashore that he was able to remove the stains. Maori Axes Found Two line specimens of Maori stone axes have been found on Waihcke Island in the past week. When working at Ostond Mr. C. Corbett, ol Palm Beach, found a small axe about a foot beneath the surface. It measured Sin. by 2in. and was perfectly finished with a sharp edge. A larger specimen over Gin. long was found last week by a Maori workman on the main Onetangi Road.
