BLOWN UP!
TAIHAPE YOUTHS AND A CAR THE frog who would a-wooing-go probably had a certain amount of experience of what he was undertaking, but a Taihape youth, and two companions, who tried to drive a Ford car from Tokaanu to Taihape on Tuesday, had no experience of the versatile vehicle they were using. They were in the vicinity of Waiouru Plains, when the engine became heated, and in a flash exploded. Pieces of car, engine and sundries were shot in ail directions, and the three youths were thrown out. Such a trifling experience however, did not appear to affect the driver to arty great extent. When the “stars” had cleared away he found himself seated in the tussock still clasping the steering wheel. His companions were also unhurt, but the cause of all the trouble was damaged beyond recognition. The youths caught the next train from Waiouru to Taihape.
