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)
