MUTILATED MERMAID MIRACLE

 Magnetic  Island's  grossly mistreated mermaid   now appears to  have   undergone a major change, according to the  Shipping Reporter  , whose camera is on the  blink  , so he could not produce  the  pictorial  evidence .  He says  the  poor fibre-glass  mermaid  , which had  its head  and arms   torn off  , now  appears , from  a  distance,   to  have  a  dark - looking  head-shaped object  , flapping   arms   and   is  possibly wearing  a   blouse .
