The Parting
The Parting.
"A holy sacrament! a most unholy noise."
—Foster.
The Auckland team was cheered away by the Manawatu train on Wednesday morning, and the scene at the "Mararoa" in the evening was one of wild, hilarious uproar. Behind the shouting and the cheering was the firm friendship of comrades-in-arms, proved many times in five hard days, and the knowledge that these were "jolly good fellows" every one.
