A few days ago, on a narrow portion of the Coast Road, a car pulled up suddenly, compelling another behind it to do likewise (relates the “Thames Star”). After some delay the owner of the first car found his benzine tank was empty, and asked the other carowner for enough to see him to the next pump. The obliging Thames man let him have two large measures drawn from his tank by means of a rubber tube and making approximately half a gallon. Instead of expressing thanks or offering to pay for the spirit, the motorist pressed sixpence into the hand of his benefactor, saying: “Go and have a drink,” and drove off.
