The Wanganui Chronicle tells the folio-w---ing story about a fish : — Two men belonging to the schooner Spec were busily plying their oars on the river on Wednesday evening, when suddenly a dark object leaped out of the water, and striking the bow oarsman violently on the chest, in an instant had him ou the broad of his back, to the no small consternation of stroke, who wondered "what in thunder had happened." On the prostrate seaman regaining his seat, a huge flsh was found wriggling about iv a lively fashion at the bottom of the hoat. Lest it should go tor another leap, the men at once put an end to ts struggles, and since then fish has proved the staple article of diet an board that ship.
