A Question of Bravery
A Question of Bravery.
“I laughingly said that I knew nothing about the question of who was the most daring man. Thereupon Mr. Davis said: ‘Alf, would you be afraid to cross Waimangu in a boat?’”
“I said that I was not afraid of anything—may be a rash remark, still that was the truth of it. I also said that if Mr. Davis would send his yacht dinghy to Rotorua for me to use on the geyser pool I would undertake the job on the following Sunday, as I was returning to Rotorua on Saturday. It was now Thursday.
