WHALING IN OUR WATERS.
A PROMISING INDUSTRY. By Telegraph.—Presst Association. Auckland, Night. A good number of catches have been made at the Whangamumu whaling station. So far this season, twelve large whales have been landed. Up to the present the whales are caught in nets, and the steam whaler Hananui, recently imported from England by an Auckland syndicate, takes them in tow to the station, conveying two mammals at a time. Up to the present this has been the Hananui's sole occupation, hut when all her ijear arrives she will go in search of whales herself. Towards the end of the month, or thereabouts, the Hananui will, it is understood, proceed to the southern grounds, which are situated at Tory channel, Marlborough, Kaikoura and Campbell Island. Right whales are to he found in these grounds, and reccntlv thirteen right whales wore netted at Tory Channel.
