The mystery surrounding the discovery of an unexploded harpoon in a whale 60ft In length that was shot from a fishing launch between Cape Colville and Great Barrier Island in October, 1933, has been solved. The harpoon, which is now in the Auckland War Memorial Museum, was identified by an old whaler as being one of the type formerly fired from the motor-launches at the Whangamumu station, North Auckland. The whale was shot by Mr Vivian Wright, of Auckland, with a .303 rifle from the launch Outlaw. After an exciting encounter with a smaller whale, which made repeated efforts to free the larger one, the carcase was towed to Whangaparapara Harbour, Gi'eat Barrier Island. The suggestion that as the investment iji sweepstake tickets sold in New Zealand could not be stopped it should be controlled, was made by the Hon. A. Bui-ns (Auckland), when speaking in the Legislative Council. Every year, said Mr Burns, thousands of pounds were going out of the country, and though it was being done illegally, it could not be stopped. It was difficult to put into operation a law that was not regai'ded favourably by a great majority of the people, and in that case he suggested that the position should be met by controlling and limiting the investment ! n sweepstake tickets. “No Government in the world will stop it,” said Mr Bums. “It is born in the people. It is just possible that some members of this Council have had a ticket,” amid laughter and cries of “No!” Mr Burns said that if sweepstakes were controlled in New Zealand the money would be kept in the coxxntry, and the pi-ofit could go to charity. He suggested that the Government should consider organising a certain number of sweepstakes every year. “I feel sui-e that the people would be satisfied if they had some sweepstakes,” he said. “I have never heard of anybody being ruined through buying sweepstake tickets.”
