Smoked Back To Life
After being in the water for soipe time in the Kereru River a Maori boy was finally located and brought ashore apparently drowned. Mrs Jacob Kemp, however, did not give up hope of saving the child and resorted to the Maori way of artificial resuscitation by holding the boy upside down and smoking him. It was effective and the boy is now running around as usual little the worse for his experience. Despite the fact that the medical profession is rather sceptical of this form of reviving the apparently drowned the Maoris have made some wonderful saves.
