QUEER CATCH
Curiosity Sucked up by Devonport Dredge SAUSAGE-LIKE FISH Quaint creatures are no novelty to the men on the dredges which scrape the harbour-floor. Week by week they see rare creatures hoisted from the bed of the Waitemata. But this morning 1 even the dredgemen were surprised by a queer fish sucked up through the pipe-line by the dredge operating at Devonport, to squirm on the mud deposited behind the retaining wall. The fish was almost the exact shape and colour of a fairly large sausage. Captured and placed in a bucket, it disclosed a faculty for expanding and contracting, at times trebling its normal dimensions. The stranger still awaits classification.
