Novel Fishing.

A NOVEL way of capturing saga was discovered in Suva recently, when a cargo of bananas was being loaded into a steamer from a punt.

The saga, a big specimen, was cruis ing about in the vicinity and snapping at the bananas which fell overboard; and, as the fish came near the punt to seize the fruit, a native, armed with a stick, struck it on the head and stunned it. He was then able to pass the stick through the fish’s gills and hoist it on board.
