SMALL BOY’S LONG WALK
4}-Mile Journey Towards Home ACCIDENTALLY LEFT AT PICNIC SPOT When two car-loads of picnickers left the Pleasant Point Domain shortly before 5 p.m. yesterday a four-year-old boy, Alan Pritt, of 149 Linwood avenue, was accidentally left behind. About 645 p.m. a person who knew the boy found him walking along Butterfield avenue. He had walked nearly four and a half miles from the domain was was heading in the right direction for his home. When the two cars left the domain the boy’s father thought he was travelling in the other car and the driver of that car thought he was in his father’s car. Not until they reached their home in Linwood avenue was it realised that the boy was still at this domain. A search was made of the domain but no trace was found of the child and the caretaker reported that he had not seen him. The father informed the New Brighton police and plans were being made to form a search party when it was reported that the boy had been found.
