“THE LOST TRIBE.”
Christchurch, Nov. 4
Since n Christchurch business man entered into the “lost tribe” controversy with a story of the. dramatic, appearance of a wild Maori on hoard the steamer Ilinemoa. at Dusky 'Sound some years ago, a Dunedin man, Mr. Arthur N. Clap]}, has been laughing heartily, for he was a passenger and was in Ihe joke. Its perpetration led to the fantastic tale of a survivor of the Ngatimamoe tribe being quoted to give credence to the legend of the lost tribe. It was all part of a social evening, and the actual part of the wild Maori was enacted by Norman Bernstein, who, dressed in Maori gajrb, suddenly appeared over the stern of the vessel, gesticulating fiercely, and later betook himself off, in the same way. Four people, including Captain Roberts, were in the joke.
