FAMILY MAROONED.
CUT OFF BY RISING STREAMS. (Per Plresß Association). HAMILTON, April 24. To be marooned on a small island at Port Waikato on Sunday night was the unenviable experience of Mr H. Gordon and family and a party of Mends. They were spending Easter in a cottage on the island when streams surrounding the island rose rapidly, cutting them off from the mainland. Cries of help were heard by the caretaker of a children's camp in the vicinity. With the assistance of a local Maori "he rescued the campers, the Maori bringing the children over a swollen stream on his back. The adults of the party were assisted over the stream with ropes.
