A POPULAR "DEMON"
HANDED m the bracelets, Mick Gourlay, Wanganui's senior '• detective. Appropriately enough ;. it was on New Tear's Eve, and now he is no longer a member of the force. Gourlay is one of the most popular and best-known "demons" the Dominion has known. For thirteen years he was employed on Auckland's waterfront and, that thirteen isn't always the unlucky number superstitious folk would have us believe, he showed when he left for Wanganui. Glowing testimonials and a £400 cheque were heaped on his head. Mick has launched out into business, and he'll remain m Wanganui. If he's as successful at the new venture as he was m the prevention and detection of cargo pillaging, Mick must have a bright and rosy future ahead of him. Incidentally, wasn't it Mick who captured Westlake. when the latter had cleared off to Australia m the "borrowed" yacht "Raate?"
