Heeney Comes Home Accorded Great Reception
Tom Heeney’s arrival by the Aorangl was marked by extraordinary enthusiasm. He received first the cheers of welcome from crowded launches as the mail steamer entered port and as she berthed at Princes Wharf there was burst on burst of cheering, when the boxer and his wife appeared at the deck rail. As they came down the gangway a battery of cameras exploded. In a waiting taxi Heeney met his mother and then drove to a city hotel where he met his father, crowds following. All along the street there was a roaring welcome.
