THIRTY DEGREES HOTTER THAN HONG KONG.

{ Continued from Page 1)

Elling Rabbits,

On again to Mingene, the second hottest place in W.A., where it was around 119 degrees (the day before it had been' 123), where Kingy wired through to Geraldton " to say we couldn't get in till 9.30 instead of 4.30, the time, arranged for the meeting. Soon after leav ing ingenew the sua set and at last we were able to give Cuthbert the gas.

After leaving Dongatra, where the track hits the poast for the first time since leaving Perth, Cuthbert began to slay rabbits" at a terrific rate. We must have kill- ed about 40 on this 4-mile stretch. In spite of the rabbit-proof fence, hundreds of miles east of this spot, bunny is definitely in, all the way far down BY

Only 113 Degrees. Here it was well up to 115 de- grees, probably raore, with no trees to break the hot wind over the sandplain. The President admita that during the whole of this trip and until we got back to Perth, his dieg was "priests, peaches, and beer, chiefly beer, in which respect Kingy and I were not backward in corning forward. After lunch, off again through Carnamah to Three Springs. Here we decided to knock out the remaining two bottles of beer, so we repaired to a snjall tea shop and asked for some glasses.from Geraldton Not on your life, the good lady of the place wasn't going to have any one getting shicke" in her place | by cars.

and so we drack it on the pave- ment. I must admit we looked pretty rouge, in our shirt sleeves, the back of our shirts blue from the leather seats of the car. On our return here the following day word had gone round who we were and there has since been much slinging) off at the Governor who wasn't allowed to drink a glass of beer in Three Springs: there is said to be a photographic record if that pave ment drinking party, though per sonally I doubt it.

King Hits the Roof!

Some fifteen miles out of Gerald-

ton we struck a splendid road; thinking this" would go right, on into town, we were going for our lives at over 40 to make up time when suddenly we came to the and of it. Result, a big bump and Kingy hit the root for the first time (I was driving, so that was one up to the), and of course his head got the better of the wooden

hood carrier. p.m. We lobbed into Geraldton where we were met by Padre Halley and other stalwarts of the Geraldton Group who had nóbly held the fort for us for three hours in the Parish Hall. After a bit of tucker and a couple of good whis- kles apiece we went along to find about thirty fellows gathered, with the Mayor of Geraldton in the chair
