Al Fresco Dinner
(N Z. Press Assn. —Copyright) SALE (Victoria), Dec. 25. Howling winds and flying spray provided the setting today for a Christmas dinner, with all the trimmings, for 150 men riding out big seas in Bass Strait as they wait for a chance to plug the leaking Marlin gas well. The men, led by the Texan oil well expert, Mr Paul (“Red”) Adair, will try to plug the leak as soon as there is calm weather. But today, anchored not far from the rig, they sat on their barge and enjoyed turkey. ham, chicken, roasted sucking pig. oysters, crab meat, scallops, avocadoes and 25 varieties of cheese—all with a slight salt-spray flavour.
