SUNDOWNER'S ARTICLES.
»ir,-l should like, sometime, to catch "Banana Bender" bending. "Sundowner" gave the impression that transport to and from Nelson was adequate. This was more than generous. I have watched the Nelson ferries crossing Tasman Bay and I could swim as fast (though not for the whole distance). On one occasion while I was a@ passenger I was awakened at midnight by the winch unloading stores for French Pass and taking aboard what sounded like scrap iron. When we arrived at Wellington the’ winch started at 5.30 am. to put the mail on the wharf. This mail is taken from the wharf at 7 a.m. When booking berths the company asks you the age of your son to see where ‘he is to sleep. If, on the spur of the moment you say "twelve," you pay full fare for him. The company does not advertise the half-fare age. "Sundowner" can be sure he has a ig reading public and it is a fact, if I may coin a phrase, that "there is no sunshine but hath some shadow."
