NEARLY MISSED
Three Indians raised a laugh from the crowd, both aboard and ashore, when the Ulimaroa was about to leave for Sydney this morning.
The vessel was scheduled to leave at 11 o’clock, and at five minutes past the hour a ship’s officer on the gangway blew the “all-clear” whistle. At that moment a roar of laughter came from the crowd, which parted to make way for three agitated Indians. With turbans on heads and bags on shoulders, they hurried to the gangway at a typical Oriental trot. Tickets and papers changed hands hastily and the three panting men hurried forward as the gangway was lowered.
