A SEAMAN’S THIRST
There was refreshing candour in the explanation given for his lapse by a seaman from an overseas vessel who appeared before Mr H. W. Bundle, S.M., in the Dunedin Magistrate’s Court on a charge of drunkenness. Asked by Mr Bundle how he came to be under the influence of liquor, he pondered for a moment. “It was this way,” he said, leaning confidentially across the rail of the dock, “I had some salt water in my mouth, so I just took a few glasses of beer to wash it down.” PROLIFIC LEMON TREE Lemon trees seem to thrive in the suburb of Wanganui East. One resident so far this season, has picked 415 lemons from a small tree in his garden, and there are still more than 200 left. The tree is only six feet high, and the fruit are of medium size.
