A Gold Bangle.
♦. >— KAHAWAI'S STRANGE DIET.
SURPRISE FOR FISHERMEN.
TURUA PARTY'S CATCH. Turua residents are satisfied that Thames is not the only place in the goldfields district where gold is to be found. If anyone doubts their word —and, incidentally, it is a fish story —they will point to a certain young lady who has recently become jfhe proud possessor of a gold bangle —and thereby hangs the tale. A party of Turua fishermen last week had among their catch a large kahawai, and their surprise can be imagined when, on opening the fish, they discovered that it had swallowed a 9-carat gold bangle. Just how and where the fish became so successful a "prospector" is a mystery, but those fishermen are keeping an eye on any more outsize kahawai that come their way.
