“THE AMBERGRIS KING.”
The Stewart Island correspondent of the “Southland News” stairs that Mr. Ad aim Adamson, “the Ambergris King,” with whom the public have become familiar owing in his nlmbergris activities, has recently been undergoing some hardships in connection with his calling. Ono of the fishing fleet which called to see him recently found him short of provisions. Ilis home is at a \ ery remote and inaccessible place at Doughboy Bay. Few boats venture there, so Mr. Adamson was very glad of the opportunity to send an order for more supplies. At the time he had only a little flour and potatoes, and was far from robust, but a. vessel soon had an opportunity of taking round enough to last him till December, when he expects to return to civilisation. Dir. Ada)mson reports tha.t he has had less than his average luck with ambergris so far, but is looking for a good return in the spring.
