Cant Bustle Him

UVTO,. Hp! me lads!, Let's do some I work. Here "comes Bustling Jack!" ... and the diligent wharf laborers along the busy waterfront of Wellington go about their jobs right readily, for, as they will tell you themselves, "Bustling Jack" will stand no nonsense —even though he is one of the beet sportsmen who. ever cast his eye over.'.a,ship. Jack Currle is the correct cognomen of. the bustling gentleman, and, frankly) his job ls not one for the average man. ■ , He has-to have a knowledge of discipline that Napoleon himself might have envied; he has to be. a diplomat above the average—stemming the wrath of ship's officers, while keeping his merry men on the job, is all part of the day's work to him. Then, too, he is something^ m the way of a' specialist m handling cargo. When, a ship comes m people think, that all Jack Currie has to do, is to' stand on the wharf and say: "Hey presto!"—aiid aU 'the cargo forms itself m lines on, the wharf. • Not so. Curries knowledge, enables him to give this Impression, it is true: but his work bears the hall-mark of years of experience. A popular miln with all, he 4s a credit to the organization he adorns. Undoubtedly one of Ihe best labor foremen who ever walked Wellingtons wharves.. . . - ■ - ,
