Hangi on the Job

There must be something wrong with the picture at right.

The menu: Two wild pigs, one sheep, 50 crayfish, 12 fowls, two sacks of kumaras, 12 cabbages, two sacks of potatoes—and 60 gallons of beer.

Dig that!

These chaps, S. Haenga, W. Puhipuhi, B. Ngatai, and J. Williams, work on the Government Building Job in Read's Quay.

No wonder that building is going up fast!

But wait a moment. Here's the explanation. They were digging up a full-sized hangi for the pre-Christmas "shout" turned on by McMillan & Co., the builders. Here B. Prisk, J. Brown, J. Stone, J. Williams and S. Haenga uncover some of the good things to eat--cooked to perfection.
