BLACKFISH DELAYS SHIP
INCIDENT AT THREE KINGS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. A big blackfish retarded the progress of the Maunganui yesterday afternoon when the vessel was off the Three Kings on the voyage from Sydney to Auckland. Curiously enough, the fish was caught on the stem of the vessel, and though split asunder, it slowed down the speed of the ship by about two knots. In order to rid the vessel of its burden, -the engines were stopped for a short space and the fish fell from the bows as way was lost.
