GREAT HAUL OF SHARKS.
BY S.S. NORA NIVEN. The crew of tho trawler Nora Niveß experienced something in tho nature of a disappointment during her recent trawling cruise in Cook Strait. On the occasion in question, tho vessel was in the vicinity of Palliser Buy, and instructions had been given to haul in tho net. As it began to come in it appeared to have a large quantity of fis.li in it, for it was parti■cularly heavy. Kutlnisiasm ran high, and these on board had visions of a rood pay day ahead of them (so it is saiclj. One man promised hims-slf a now suit on the strength of the catch. But, as tho trawl gradually came into view, these fine hopes vanished. It was presently seen that the net contained about three tons of sharks, ranging from six to nine, feet in length. Those on board the vessel state that they have, never seen such a number of sharks come on board in one haul before.
