MUIRHEAD`S MYSTERIES: GIANT SPIDER IN LIVERPOOL
Another blast from the past, another
volt from the vault, another… (that`s enough jollity for one blog!)
Here is a story titled GIANT SPIDER HUNT. Webs 10-ft
long in Warehouse at Liverpool .
A dockside worker has had a weird experience in a
warehouse where a large consignment of rubber from Para (the Brazilian seaport
on the Amazon) was recently stored , wires the Liverpool correspondent of the Daily Chronicle. Shortly
after the arrival of the rubber he discovered what looked like several net
hammocks.
With the aid of a lamp he investigated, and found webs
with a filmy mesh about two feet broad and from six to ten long. Brushing them
down, he was stopped in alarm by “eyes peering from a hole in the wall.”
Unnerved by his experience, he ran from the warehouse and told his story to some
of his comrades. They returned with him in time to start a chase of what they
declare to have been a gigantic spider, evidently brought in the rubber cases
from the Amazon. The chase was an exciting one, but the spider escaped, the
boxes of rubber impeding his would-be captors (1)
