CONDUCTOR MISSED THE TRAM
The Maori conductor of a Wellington tram somehow or other got left behind recently. Passengers thought that ' at long last the opportunity had arrived of getting a free ride to work, but their pleasurable antieipations on this point were dashed :.a quarter of an hour oi* so later, for the conductor, all beaming with smiles, boarded the tram at the Basin Reserve, sized up the situation- at a glance, grasped his punch firmly in his right hand, and before the erstwhile "buckshee" travellers had hardly time to recover from their as'tonishment, had collected all their fares, ^ How the conductor .caught up with the tram at the Basin Reserve was not explained, but presumably he had persuaded a synipathetic motorist to pick him up and em'bark upon a tramcar chase.
