ANOTHER WHITE CRAKE
AT CASTLEI'OINT. > Advice has been received by the secretary of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society that a wnite crane has appeared on Mr. John llarton's "Mntaikona" st-a-tion, Whakataki, njSar Castlepoint. The bird is a rare visitor, and is generally solitary, coming from unknown parts and silently departing after a while. It is. ot' course, strictly protected by law, and anyone destroying or attempting to destroy it- incurs a liability to some penalties. Klforts are being made l)V the society's officials to secure the safety of the bird. By a strange coincidence a white crane came to-lioxton a short tinio past, ami apparently has no fear of man. The white crane is, like tho black cat, said to be an omen of good fortune.
