Saved by a Finger
Young Stephen Wood found himself in difficulties while sailing his dinghy at Ahuriri. He lost the drain plug from the bottom of his boat and resorted to the little Dutch boy’s expedient – he bunged his finger in the hole till help arrived in the shape of “Photo News” photographer, Phil Moore. Phil, with always an eye for a story picture, took this shot of Stephen before coming to the rescue with a spare spark plug which blocked the hole and sent Stephen safely on his way.
