Landing supplies at Murderer's Cove are Doug Frew, Invercargill, John Wixon, Bluff, and Jack McKay, Invercargill. The Haka-wai I would like to mention the legend of the ‘Haka-wai’ to the readers of this article to consume and digest. The legend of the ‘Haka-wai’, known mostly to the older mutton-birders of about five decades back, is as follows: The ‘Haka-wai’ was supposed to have been a bird—yet nobody had ever seen it to certify that it was a bird. The sound it makes is said to resemble the jingling of chains being drawn through space, as it soars over the islands. The legend sounds like another fisherman's story, yet it is said that even scientists who tried to fathom the mystery of the ‘Haka-wai’ were baffled by the chain-like clinking in space over those islands of the South Pacific Ocean.
