Manawatu Savages Raid Nelson
The Nelson Savage Club suffered (and how they suffered) a raid from a friendly tribe of Manawatu Savages recently, but the only injuries inflicted were self, and the tribesmen from the north departed on the Sunday in fairly good shape. On the Saturday evening they provided wonderful entertainment for their own and Nelson counterparts at a korero in the Old Folks' Hall.
The visitors were met by placard-carrying Nelsavages
Manawatu Rangatira, Joe Greening, and one-eyed Lord Nelson (Tim Doudhett) listen while the bosun's mate, Brian Davis, gives the visitors the freedom of the Old Folks' Hall.
Schnozz Durante himself (Albert Shadbolt)
Rangatiras installed: Wally Duff (Nelson) and Joe Green ng (holding the "Free hand" given the visitors).
