Know Your District

The unique building pictured at left is the bridge house off the Star of Canada which went aground on Kaiti Beach in a violent gale. You already knew that? Good! Now let's test your knowledge a little further.

What was the date of the ship's grounding, was it day or night, and what was the prime reason?

If you are the first person to call at our office with the correct answers to these three questions, you will win a free six-month subscription to "Photo News".

The steel hook in question last month was in fact a hitching hook, once a common sight on verandah posts in Gladstone Road for shoppers to secure their horses to. This particular one is outside Charlie Adair's Menswear Store.

Winner of the free subscription was Mrs G. D. Drummond (right), of 159 Lytton Road.
