LATE LOCALS
A correspondent writes:—“The lure of the Toaroha Hot Springs called to many over the Anzac week-end. On Sunday evening, some of the earlier arrivals, descending from Mount Jum-ble-top, were overtaken by darkness, and a rescue through the bush by candle light was effected. One young man wishes to claim a record, that of being the only man to walk from the Styx to the summit of Jumble-top and homo again in bare feet. Maybe his action was a protest against the high price of footwear. Speculation as to a suitable nom-de-plumc was rife until someone suggested “Man Friday,’’ and this wms unanimously adopted. The baths were j in great demand, and were declared] exceptional by all.” |
