BOOST FOR NEW ZEALAND
ZANE GREY’S DESCRIPTION. ANTICIPATING ANOTHER TRIP. Writing in the “Examiner” (says Mr W. J. Caton, formerly df Wellington, and now of Los Angeles), Zane Grey has be,en giving our little country a wonderful leg-up. You have to live here to know what a marvelMls boost it is, and how it is going to put New Zealand on the map in this country. In his article Grey writes: “My enthusiasm is so great that I going again. ' I shall take my schooner out there next winter and more and better tackle, with an eye to capturing some huge mako shark, broadbill, and black marlin. And I shaJl take my brother R. C., and my boy, Romey, to have the fun of seeing them hook on to some of those monsters and get whipped, the same as we were. It is a long trip, but well worth the time and expense, aside from the fishing. . . . The South Seas, are wonderful, and New Zealand is a la.nd of enchantment, ‘Land of the Long Daylight,’ so tlie Maoris call it.”
