Liudrum said : “I lelt just a little uncomfortable. My first ten minutes after resuming from overnight were not too good, but when 1 got waimed. .1 felt quite confident, and when I 'reached four thousand, I felt I could go on indefinitely. It was just a little kick from my ball which brought about the. position that crashed me.” The end came through one of the object balls carrying just half an inch too far. This meant all but a cover.
