A blast from Kupe's whistle was a signal for the first batch of Northlanders to dash in for a swim at the picnic held at Day's Bay. They went 200 at a time, which was enough for the surf lifesavers to handle. The Maranui junior team (Rongotai College boys under Mr. Raven) were allotted the responsible task of patrolling the swimming area. See the splash that this 200 made!
