SYDNEY SCARE STORIES
VISITORS NOT DETERRED
Sydney was full of scare stories and ■rumours, said Mr. Byron Brown, Wellington, on his return. Me said it was freely reported that a submarine had been seen off Bondi —but homebound travellers were not put off braving the Tasman crossing. There was some slight alarm, however, when the vessel on which lie travelled engaged in rocket practice. The first detonation brought many passengers on deck. However, they had been given confidence by the sight of naval vessels in Port .Tackson. Despite tiie war, the gaiety of Sydney life was maintained. Uniformed men were everywhere, soldiers and sailors, and officers in particular.
