Twelve Guys and a Doll

Twelve Guys and a Doll.

We are battling along by lorry towards Paraparaumu Beach early on Good Friday morning. The weather is not too promising, and it is more than somewhat cool. Soon we reach the beach and gaze apprehensively over a rough-looking sea and feel sure that we will be sick. Furthermore, the launch rocks alarmingly. Actually it is quite calm, as we find later.

We reach Kapiti safely, and proceed to a camping-spot which Stan pronounces "mighty restful." That afternoon we don't do much—only sit round and lie round.

On Saturday it is more than somewhat fine, and we do a bit of hill-climbing, to the top of Mt. Kapiti, and Stan says that it is a "mighty restful" day.

On Sunday it is a day of rest for most of us, but two guys, comrades Laird and Pownall, walk round the island. The rest of us play poker or read aloud from Damon Runyan.
