A startling experience was the lot of Messrs Jack Lewis and Charles Schwass, two Blenheim residents, when they were motoring up the Onamalutu Valley on a shooting expedition. They were travelling at between 25 and 30 miles an hour when the car started up a hare which was " squatting" on the roadway. Mr Lewis, who was at the wheel,, did not see the animal until it shot over the bonnet and crashed clean through the windscreen. Both panels of the quar-ter-inch thick plate glass windscreen were smashed, and the force of the impact was such that the lower steel frame- was . knocked out of plumb. Both occupants of the car sustained minor cuts on the face and hands from flying glass. Only Mr Lewis' presence of mind in lowering his face and pulling up smartly when he saw the hare jump toward the windscreen averted a more serious accident.
