CARGOES.
Staff car of Shepheard’s from distant Cairo, Honking through the Delta, pennant flying high, With a cargo of crossed swords, Small talk and brassware, Map cases, field glasses and old school ties. Snappy station waggon, hub down in the sand, Knowing just why Moses left to find • the Promised Land, With a cargo of crowns, Pips and moustaches, Compasses, revolvers and Yankee beer canned. R.M.T., three-tonner with dust-covered canopy, • Pushing through the soft sand and hot desert haze, With a cargo of Maori boys, Pakehas and rations, Land-mines, ammunition and hand grenades. —(From “ N.Z.E.F. Times.”)
