Doddery Expects ......

Sometimes on our section of Highway other contractors come in to do Tar-Sealing work, or other jobs. We get on well with all of them. It's always good to have a chat with new faces. It is always a bit of a shock though to come around a corner and see strangers working on our road. The imagination runs riot sometimes;

I Have The Pleasure To Report..
At 6 bells in the forenoon, while patrolling off Mt Messenger in a SW breeze, Sighted an enemy squadron, viz; A Grader, Broom Tractor, Tar Tanker and attendant Trucks. Apon closing to windward, we beat to quarters and commenced to fire on the Grader, "Le Indomitable" with heated shot. After two broadsides she turned into the wind ablaze. Our trucks were handled magnificently, harrying the enemy 6 wheelers till one went ashore, and the others struck their colours. The Tar Tanker & Broom tractor attempted to flee to the South, but were run down and taken as prizes by one of our 4 wheelers. A full action report will follow.
