The other passengers, who had hardly woke up. for it was an early wanderer, certainly woke up properly and were startled, wondering which mental hospital had lost a patient, so tho passenger, seeing their looks of apprehension, called out: “Oh, don’t worry. I’m an Aussie from the far west—over on a holiday—and our cows have to keep their heads in the air. trying to got some food there, because there is no grass for them to chew, so I can’t help calling out some.times when I see your cows in a natural attitude. Great little country, this New Zealand.” and then he looked out of the windows and was silent in admiration.
