Vigorously attacking a round buovlike object with a hammer, a resident of Port Douglas (North Queensland) managed to knock off a great many oysters. From one of the hornlike excrescences she salvaged beautiful bits of coral reef. She made a good clean-up of all the oysters witlfin reach, and was not sparing in her efforts with the hammer. Later she was Informed by a Mine Disposal Squad that her oyster bed was an active mine and that she had used the hammer on the detonator. Later the mine was exploded about a mile offshore, and every building to Port Douglas was shaken.
