Being the life history of Capt W J Barry. "New Zealand: p.57, 157-237, 252, chiefly the author's experiences on the Otago goldfields, Cromwell (Barry was the first Mayor) and Queenstown. 'Full of early history and good stories' (Hocken)." -- (Bagnall, B 325.). William Jackson Barry (1819 - 23 April 1907) was a New Zealand adventurer and writer. He was born in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire, England on 1819, and between 1866 and 1868 was Mayor of Cromwell. In 1883, Barry bought a whale skeleton that had beached itself on the sands in Nelson. Barry prepared and exhibited the skeleton at a Nelson store, and then on tour, before arriving in Dunedin. The Otago Daily Times reported that Barry opened the whale up to public inspection in a warehouse in St Andrews Street, even going so far as to hold a dinner party in its jaws. By August of 1883, Barry had sold the fin whale to Otago Museum, where it is still on display. Barry wrote a fantastical autobiography in 1878, "Up and Down : Or, Fifty Years' Colonial Experiences in Australia, California, New Zealand, India, China, and the South Pacific; Being the Life History of Capt. W. J. Barry. Written by himself, 1878, with portrait of author, and other illustrations."
