THAT SHARK
'ANOTHEB "PEtOEUS JACK. 0 ' VIA well-known member of tie Star Boating Club makes bold to correct the IiJP. who-states that be saw a large shark disporting itself in the water ; about a nme south of Ngahauranga on iSunday- evening. . "It is. not a shark jat. all," says the informant. '.'Most of. •the boating men hav-o seen the stranger •many times, and ho has been freely dis-;-cnssed by the regular passengers on the . JButt trainsduring Hβ last six weeks •or two months. ■ The stranger is really & cow-fish (tursiops), about Bft. to 10ft. long, which has taken a fancy to that particular part of the harbour, after, the manner of i /Pelorus Jack.' Cow-fish have a habit of playing abont the surifaoe of the water, hut sharks, save •when tempted to rise, usually swnn five rto 'ten feet below the top. They lireflten to call the piscatorial sport .■•Ngaha-urango Ned.'. - I hope this/will .serve to allay any .-unnecessary alarm •■jmich the M.P.'s story has raised."
