AT DUSKY SOUND
FIRST MOOSE HEAD
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.)
INVERCARGILL, April 19
A sporting achievement of widespread interest is that of Mr E. J. Herrick and his party who left in a ketch for Dusky Sound. On two previous occasions Air Herrick had set out in quest of a moose head, and had returned without success. This time he was determined that he would get a head if it were possible, no matter how long it took him or what were the.difficulties. Jt is stated that the only moose herd in the Southern Hemisphere is in the hush and mountain country around Dusky S»und. Last year Mr Herrick sent‘ out two export guides from llawera country to prospect for moose, and they gave a favourable report. This year Mr Herrick obtained permission to go into the country with the object of giving an authoritative report. He was conceded the right ol taking a head, should be see one of sufficiently good quality. The head which Mr Ilei’ick secured lias been brought back to Invercargill, and it will be cleaned and mounted.
