A large fish, called Hapuu, attracted the attention of a crowd at the Fish Market this morning. It was caught by a native named Kaihe, off Diamond Head during the night. It measures 6 feet 8 inches long and 6 feet in circumference, and weighs 362 pounds. Tins monster of the deep is a curiosity worth seeing.
