JAR WHICH CRASHED
CHRISTMAS CHEER NOW IN HARBOUR Crash! . . . and the plop, plop of something falling into the sea— A passenger on a ferry steamer at Devonport last evening rounded off the crash with some language which is usually described as “pretty.” No wonder —his five-gallon jar had been smashed to atoms on the concrete wharf, and five-gallon jars at Christmas time have only one useful purpose. At least, that is what the ferry passengers thought. The owner of the jar had been too eager to get off the boat. He bounded on to the stringer, but before he could leap on to the wharf the ferry steamer had bumped alongside. The sudden jolt sent the jar out of its owner’s hands and a very useful utensil now lies on the sea-bed.
