THREE MEN IN A BOAT
FORBES, COATES AND HOLLAND. A parallel between Ncav Zealand’s present position, and that of “Three Men in a Boat,’’ was draAvn by Mr J. S. Butler, the Coalition candidate for Napier, the other evening. “Heavy Avcathcr is being experienced, Avitli the result that the little craft has been shipping some Avater over the gunwale, and is also leaking a little in places,’’ said the candidate. ‘'George, who is pulling stroke, calls to his friend, Gordon, Avith the bow oar, that all they knoAV shall be put into it, in order to push ahead. Gordon accordingly responds. Harry, sitting in the stern, is disappointed at the progress made, and his companions invite him to assist a Avhilc by doing a little bailing. After a while he gets tired of the bailing and suggests that there is a much easier Avay of letting the Avater empty itself, and he therefore proposes to pull out the plug.
