MAROONED BY THE TIDE
One line day Trevor.and I thought we would like to go out exploring so we packed up. We arrived at Whakatane at 9 a.m. We started out on a boat to Whale- Island at tO o'clock. We. went into Peter the Whaler's cave. He invited us in to have dinner. After dinner wc set out with Butinsky to find a mutton bird. He showed us where Peterkin was hiding. About -1 p.m. he .said we. had better go home. We found it was very stormy so we started rowing back but Peter the Whaler had to help us. We got half-way across and we fell into the water and I had to save. Trevor. Me managed to get -across to the other side. We had to dry ourselves and hop on to the train back to Palmerston North. Original 15y Stanley Madden, Palmerston North. (That's a splendid essay Stan and 1 think it deserves a free to the pictures. You can collect, it from Miss Whiteside. 1 don't remember the incident myself but it is something that could easily happen. P.T.W.)
