A BAD THREE HOURS
SWIMMING TOGS IN TOWN
Two young lads who walked through the city in bathing togs yesterday: afternoon created somewhat of a Stir and moved some of those people who still maintain that' neck to knee is the very least that should be worn in the water, and not too freely ~on J the beach, to expressions of horror. That those youths should walk through the city was too much altogether. That is what the youths thought, too, for they definitely did not set out to startle the city. They left their homes, in Marion Street, in. the morn.ing and stripped off for a swim at Balena Bay, Part of the morning was dinghy work, with one scull. The dinghy drifted before the wind and "by the time the fun had gone out of it they were well off shore, with too strong a wind for them to work back with" the single scull. Apparently no one noticed them or thought that they were in trouble and the, next three and a half hours went by with a slow drift across the harbour. They landed thoroughly tired of the dinghy and the wind and the day generally, at Kaiwarra at half-past two. miles from clothes and home.
And so they walked it.
