A sealed bottle containing a post card showing that it had been put into the sea by the United States Fisheries Board, was picked up by a fisherman on board a Brixham trawler. The bottle had evidently crossed the Atlantic, and was making for the English Channel when it was picked up twenty miles south-east of Start Point, south of Devonshire, and eighty-five miles north of Finisterre. The post card, which was quite dry and in perfect preservation, contained a request that it should be returned to the States with an exact statement as to the time and place at which it was found, and a promise of reward. The finder did as requested, and no doubt he received the reward —25 cents, or one shilling but no information was given on the post card of the time and place of the starting of the voyage. If you are too busy to call to discuss your printing requirements, just ring 1890, and a representative of the Lyttelton Times Printing Department will wait upon you, without obligation.
