Sword Fish
From Our Own Correspondent.
Papeete, May 17.
MR. ZANE GREY, big game angler, left Tahiti for America by the S.S. Maun ganui on her last trip and is expected to return again in time for the next fishing season.
Mr. Grey, before his departure, had been spending a considerable time on the island of Tetiaroa in the vicinity of which the fishing is said to be remarkably good. He did not, however, succeed in breaking his own world record, made in Tahiti some years ago, but nevertheless enjoyed good sport.
Mr. Grey was enthusiastic over a large fish which he hooked and lost. This was a rare kind of swordfish, known to the native fishermen but not yet scientifically classed—a swordfish with its bill on the lower instead of the upper jaw. Mr. Grey will assuredly not be satisfied till h e has one of these monsters safely landed and is thus able to add another to his already long list of piscatorial triumphs.
