MUSTERERS AND SHEEPMEN
\ Sir,-Your reviewer of ihe New Zealand Geographer writes "it is doubtful if there were ever such romantic figures in the Canterbury foothills as the author has found there." I assure you the sheepmen and musterers are living fact, not dead fiction. Your reviewer also notes "and certain that most musterers are not ‘little men, almost weedy’"; it would be fairer for him to have quoted in, not out of context: "most musterers are little men, almost weedy in city clothes." Sometimes a man’s stature seems to increase when he is loping across a shingle face, or leaning in jest on a mustering 7
pole.-
