Stories of To-day
LSIE K. MORTON has the journalist’s gift for telling a good story, and she had a good story to tell last Tuesday morning in the first of her talks Stories of South Westland, when she gave an account of the near-tragedy of October 29, 1943, when a Tiger Moth containing three sightseeing Waafs made a forced landing actually on the Franz Josef Glacier, a recital ‘that I found far more moving than the immediately following Life of Elizabeth Gunning. though the latter could boast two
deathbeds and a spectacularly triumphant conclusion. I am no Cicero, and the ‘age .I live in moves me far more than those other ages when I have not been and shall not be. If "A Black Day and a Miracle" was no mere lucky dip into the limbo of forgotten things, but evidence of expert angling then I foresee a series of pleasant and profitable Tuesday mornings.
