Zane Grey's Description.

Few visitors to our shores have written or spoken more eulogistically about New Zealand's great attractions to the tourist and sportsmen than has Mr. Zane Grey, who, it will be remembered, so successfully tested the deep-sea fishing possibilities of our northern coast a few months ago. His latest boost was given in the course of an article in an American exchange from which we quote the following:—“My enthusiasm is so great that I am going again. I shall take my schooner out there next winter and more and better tackle, with an eye to capturing some huge mako shark, broadbill, and black marlin. And I shall take my brother R.C., and my boy, Romer, to have the fun of seeing them hook on to some of those monsters and get whipped, the same as we were. It is a long trip, but well worth the time and expense, aside from the fishing…… The South Seas are wonderful, and New Zealand is a land of enchantment, ‘Land of the Long Daylight,’ so the Macris call it.”
