“STUNNING”
SCOUTS BACK FROM DUNEDIN ROUGH FERRY VOYAGE. The ferry steamer Maori berthed in Wellington yesterday morning with a large number of Boy Scouts aboard. They were returning from the jamboree in Dunedin. ' < The trip was rough, and was rather a bad ending to what most of the young New Zealanders and visitors from Australia and South Africa described as a “stunning” time. Many of • the boys were sick on the journey, but that did not prevent their being happy and light-hearted as they arrived in the capital city. The “jamboree” was the largest gathering of Scouts ever held in the Dominion, and besides being a great outing for the boys was of educational value. Thorndon Station was a mass of animated uniforms prior to the departure of the mail trains. There were Scouts everywhere—many of them were sitting on the seats trying bravely to keep awake. Some of them failed. But when they aTrive in their home towns they will he heroes among their friends, and will be able to relate many stories—stories which, since their narrators are “Scouts,” will, of course, contain nothing that is in the least way exaggerated.
