A Live Lobster in a Cask of Salt Herrings.
#. An extraordinary discovery was made to-day at the shop of D. L. Matheson and Co., Itivercargill. One of the employe's was emptying a cask of salt herrings imported from England, when he noticed something moving among the fish. This proved to be a true lobster about six inches long, and ill a lively condition notwithstanding the pressure to which he had been subjected for four months at least. The fish is in perfect even fine, condition, the antennae being unbroken, and it has all the characteristics as detailed in scientific works, although immersed so long ill strong brine. The shell is of the normal colour. The find is sittgtt* larly interesting, seeing that the recent attempt to introduce lobsters in a special tank by the mail steamer failed entirely.— Press Association.
