RETURNED INVALIDS.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
BLUFF, Monday.
By the Mokoia, which arrived this afternoon, the following \ New Zealanders returned from the front, having transhipped from the steamer Chicago at Hobart: Sergeant Matson, Corporal Jones, Troopers Warren, Spencer, Brown and Wallace (all of Wellington), Troopers Wyse, Austin and Watt (Dunedin), Troopers Drynan, Woodward and Matheson (Auckland), Trooper Lancaster (Lyttelton), Troopers McKay and Matheson (Bluff). The men are under the charge of Surgeon Acland, an old Canterbury boy, who is visiting his people there before returning to England. He was attached to an English regiment. INVERCARGILL, Monday. By the Mokoia ten invalided troopers, ex Chicago, arrived this afternoon, and are being entertained by the Bluff people to-night. Spencer (Third Contingent) is still on crutches, his foot having been shat^ tered by an explosive bullet. All looked well, the voyage having set them up. Wallace, a Wellingtonian, who had been wounded and taken prisoner, speaks highly of his treatment at the hands of the Boers, and the women nurses. He says the colonials thought a lot of Botha and De la Key, but detested De Wet, whom they regarded as a revengeful sneak, always up to some mean trick.
