BOY SCOUTS SOAKED
"MAORIS" LOSE WAR PAINT
(Received January 5, 11.30 a.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day.
Torrential rain last night flooded hundreds of tents at the Scouts' Jamboree. There were amazing scenes throughout the whole encampment as thousands of boys dressed in bathing costumes worked strenuously in teeming rain deepening the trenches around their sleeping tents and digging ditches to carry the water away.
The storm broke as the New Zealanders were giving a realistic display of ancient Maori tribal customs and hakas. They continued with the display with war paint dripping off them.
