Some Schoolboys And A Skull
Rambling in the vicinity of the Maraetotara Gorge the other day, + hree school boys, Roderick and Donald Mclntosh and Eric Canard overturned a pile of old tins in what is now presumed to be r an old Maori dugout and unearthed a human skull. When the story got around that they had found a skeleton, it created a certain amount of excitement, end the Police decided to look into the matter. So Constable R. F. Jukan, accompanied by a Beacon reporter, set off to investigate. Owner of the skull turned out to be a resident on a farm near where it was found, but he is still in perfect health. As an ambulance instructor during the war, he had used it to illustrate points in his lectures, and has since discarded it. It is now part of |he wierd collection of odds and ends that always builds up at a police station.
