Lady Angler Takes Huge

Fish

From Our Own Correspondent TAHITI, September 20.

In the sporting world, Miss Carrie Pin, owner of a beautiful location and home at Paea, Tahiti, has put up a notable record during the past week or two.

In addition to innumerable less im portant captures, three sword fish, varying in weight from 150 to nearly 200 lbs., have succumbed to her skill with the rod. She may now claim the distinction, a proud one, of being the first lady angler to come success fully out of a contest with a sword fish—in the South Seas at any rate.

The ambition of our local big-game anglers is now concentrated upon the capture of a monster silver marlin, a regular leviathan of a fish, said to scale a ton or more, which has been observed lately off the reef at Moorea, in company with a school of hump back whales.

Mr. W. R. Carpenter, head of the big islands firm, returned to Sydney by the Macdhui on October 22, after a brief visit to Rabaul.
