COOK STRAIT SWIM.
EFFORT DEPRECATED. MB A. J. RUTHERFORD’S WARNING. SHARKS AND CURRENTS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. Mr A. J. Rutherford, writing as one having experience of Cook Strait, deprecates the idea of a woman attempting to swim it. He recounts how, as a youngster, in a canoe, he was followed by a large shark, and had a narrow escape. In addition to this source of danger he considers the variation of the currents and temperature do not make it a proper place for a swimming experiment.
