Zane Grey May Visit Tasmania HOBART, Tuesday.-As the result of an invitation extended by the Tourist
Department, it is possible that Zane Grey, the noted American novelist and deep-sea fisherman, will visit
Tasmania. Replying to a letter addressed to him by Mr. E. T. Emmett, Director of the Tourist Department,
Mr. Grey express ed thanks for the invitation, and the hope that he would be able to avail himself of "this
wonderful opportun ity" for a week or so. Mr. Grey added that he was concen trating on Australia's big
game and sea fishing, which would be the title of his next book, and as soon as he had got that material he
would be able to see something of Australia's beauty and sport. He feared that his trip to Australia would
be of insufficient dura tion for all he could see in prospect.
