They’Re “Tough” At Misima!

From Our Own Correspondent MISIMA (Papua), Sept. 25. f|NE of Misima’s “dare-devil” truck ” drivers, Mr. Mick Talty, narrowly escaped soaring to hitherto unattained heights recently.

For some unknown reason a storage battery blew up in the truck he was driving and ignited the petrol tank.

Calmly calling on his muscular resources, he tore the blazing tank bodily from its fastenings and threw it down the hillside.

Within an hour he had restored order and was once more on his way, none the worse for the episode, save a few singed hairs.
