Thona Ferry Wharves,
Amid a breathless silence in the vast Legislative Chamber the Colonial Secretary revealed at long last his plans for a vehicular ferry service. (For the information of those poor fish and unmitigated boobs who don't seem to know what a vehicular-ferry is, I take this op- portunity of explaining that it is not a ferry which travels on wheels." In other words, it is not amphibian do you got me, Steve! It is not something which is equally at home on the land or in the water. It is not a ferry-boat fitted with Polnud tyred wheela, or with skates, or anything silly like that. Nor is it a vehicle which has the navigating properties of a ship. No, my dear Watson, it is a ferry for transport ing vehicles across the water. Get that under your akull, if you can,)
