iir:' - ■ —~ -! LIFE AT MOTUIHI ISLAND. |!•; FOUR OF FAMILY ARRIVE. . $/; Four children, members of a distressed If, Napier family, arrived by the Limited 4 'express yesterday, and were met by 'representatives of the Community Sunf : shine Association, and taken to Motuihi ij', Island. About 80 children are now being | accommodated tne'r'e, and will remain till the end of October, when it is hoped : C that their new home in Napier will be gC'j completed. The children appear to have j? ! completely recovered from the shock of ■ { , the earthquake, and are thoroughly con- ,| tented with their temporary abode, f;' School is being conducted on the j island, and the children have adapted • themselves happily to the new condi- % tions, and are reported to be making 'f-' food progress. \%i- The secretary said this morning that ■A the Community Sunshine Association wished to record heartfelt thanks for the |>i wonderful response from the public, both in money and in food and clothing. It ' was not at first anticipated that the ; children would be under their care for if luch a long period. In consequence any further contributions, particularly apples f; and other fruit, potatoes, vegetables and jam, would be most acceptable.
