COOK “ RELICS.”
AUCKLAND MUSEUM HOAX. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, April 28. The authorities of the Auckland Museum are apparently victims of a deception. They possess an etching of a house at Leigh-on-Sea, reputedly occupied by Captain Cook. The original certaintly stands in High Street of the old town, near the waterfront, but the only Cook who ever occupied it was a doctor, whose spiritualistic tendencies scared the fisher folk of old days.
