Description

Rev Cecil King new Super at Y. Report on Xmas. After lunch: “The men played cricket and football, although the thermometer was abut ninety degrees in the shade. However, they did not mind the heat, as it made their brown bodies all the more slippery for their opponents to ‘collar’” (197). Corroboree at night. Source: A.B.M. Review, 1 2 1914, pp. 196-97.
