High Cost Of Home Building!

Home Building!

A European trader, for many years resident on one of the outer islands of the Cook Group, recently made a discovery that rocked him.

His wife had placed £6 of her own money, in notes, in the store’s cash drawer, hut the following morning it had dis appeared. The store is so solidly huilt as to he virtually burglar proof and the trader dismissed the idea of theft. He concluded that the notes had somehow slipped down between draw and counter. Watched by his ivife and two European customers, he used a pinchhar to lever the counter free.

He uncovered a most unusual rat’s nest composed of £1 and 10/- notes—£97 worth in all!

The rats had nibbled a few of the 10/- notes, but the hulk of the money was still in usable

condition.-
