CHILDREN TRAPPED BY TIDE
SAFETY POUND ON LEDGE
(T'IIKSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) NEW PLYMOUTH, July 4. Trapped by the tide on a beach near Hawera on Saturday a pack cf cubs in charge of Miss Dorothy Clement, of Hawera, had an unpleasant experience. They owe much to the abHity of Miss Clement that they were not di-owned. The pack was on a hike along the beach at the foot of a precipitous cliff that runs for miles along the coast when the tide rose unexpectedly high. The cubs and Miss Clement were forced against the cliff, which can be climbed in very few places, and they had to travel some distance continually menaced by the rising water until they scrambled on to a ledge in comparative safety. It was not till late at night that they were able again to descend to the beach and return to town.
