A large fish, known as the Albacorc, belonging to tho Tunny species, found its way into tho inner harbour yesterday and nestled under the bridge near the Hawke's Bay Farmers' Co-operative Association's "store (says the Napier "Telegraph"). While viewing his surroundings the visitor was caught by the outgoing tide, with tho result that he was unable to return to deep water. A number of boys assailed the fish, put wero unable to catch it. An employee in lucLeod and Co.'s works by expert means raised . tho monster from the water, after much fighting, and put' an end to its . career. The Albacorc weighed no less than one and a half hundredweight.find measured 6 feet in length and 3ft Gin m girth. This fish is a stranger to the port and is only known to frequent very deep waters, so that its visit here is not'understood.
