QUEST OF THE SUN.

AN AUCKLANDER’S TRAVELS. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, April 14. The quest of the sun, has taken Mr Edward S. Little and his wife annually for the last nine years from Kerikcri, Bay of Islands, to China. They are leaving again to-night by the Aorangi for the Orient, and will celebrate their golden wedding in July at Peitaiho, a coastal town within easy reach of the Great Wall ot China.

Mr Little, who is a retired business man, finds interest in citrus growing at Kerikeri during the New Zealand summer, and for the remainder of the year spends his days in comfort. He has two homes, one at Peitaiho and the other at Shanghai. He is also a student of British Israelism, the subject oil which ho gives radio addresses. He is an enthusiastic believer in the ability of New Zealand to produce oranges of a quality equal to the best imported, and at a more reasonable price than at present prevails. Mr Little was born in England and lias had business association with the East extending over 50 years. He hears all the marks of a man who lives and works in the sun.
