The team is, at back, Kevin Barrett, Mark Pickett, Garry Thompson, Bruce Adams, and, in front, Barry Green and Barry McLean.
The Waikanae Surf Life Saving Club's team which won the Nelson Shield (centre), the premier trophy at the national surf life saving championships at Wellington, made surf life saving history by taking the event for the third year in succession. They also annexed the Royal Humane Society's Shield (right) for the Four Man Alarm and the Instructors' Trophy, a handsome new trophy (left) donated by the family of the late Ted Hughes of Wellington for the instructor of winners of the Nelson Shield. This year they were Barry McLean and Garry Thompson. Ted Hughes was a very prominent member of the Maranui Club, Wellington, where he was club captain for 21 years, and for which club he coached teams to win the Nelson Shield 12 times in the years from 1924 to 1959. If the Waikanae team carries on in the same vein it should have every chance of making it four in a row when the national champs are held here next year.

This picture, taken by a crew member of the crayfishing boat Olwyh, shows some of the hectic activity that took place on White Island recently. Showers of hot mud and extreme heat made fishing uncomfortable on the leeward side of the island. The old sulphur factory was behind the large pinnacle on the left of the crater on the south-east side of the island from where this picture was taken.
