Two Sea Mammals.
Okain’s Bay has had two strange visitors. They were a sea leopard and a sea lion. Four fishermen were startled to see a sea leopard rise out of the water near where they were anchored, and they immediately rowed to the shore. The other day a large sea elephant came up on the Okain’s Bay beach. It appeared to be very old and seemed to be sick. It was 12 feet to 13 feet long and had a fungus growth on its back. It was dark grey and had a tail in four sections.
Big Cocksfoot Contract. When Banks Peninsula was producing more than "100,000 sacks of cocksfoot a season large-scale contracts were common, but where whole farms were once devoted to cocksfoot, except in exceptional circumstances, seed areas are now seldom more than 100 acres in extent. A contract taken this year by Mr G. Waghorn, of Okain s Bay, was extremely large. With t a fully-equipped camp of 25 men and a cook, Mr Waghorn harvested 1900 rough sacks of seed.
