The Folklore of Western Australia

A TERRIBLE THIRST -

When a local miner was banned from the Mount Magnet pub he became desperate, so desperate for a drink in fact, that he cut off a section of broom stick, wrapped it in red gelignite paper, put in a fuse, lit the fuse and tossed it through the bar window. The drinkers all fled the bar only to return after some time when there was no explosion, to find their glasses were all empty.
