- How many women, once having survived the experience of being chased out of a pool by a large and indignant octopus, would go back and ask for more? Few and far between such hardy ladies may be, but Miss Marjorie Mestayer, who has charge of the Conchological Department at the Dominion Museum, holds that such little incidents are part of the day’s work and that, anyhow, the octopus probably felt worse about it than she did…She was given her present post at the Museum several years back, mainly because Wellington could at that time produce no man who knew much more about shells than that they were curious things found on beaches.
