MISSING FOR 24 HOURS.
CHILDREN SLEEP IN CAR. \(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, Friday. After having been reported missing for over 24 hours, three young children were found by their father in the street this afternoon. All were unhurt and none the worse for having slept out all night in an old motor car in which they had been playing. The children, Helen Shanks, aged eight, and her brothers, Gordon and Colin, aged seven and five respectively, left their home about 12.45 p.m. yesterday to return to school for the afternoon. When they failed to reach home for tea their parents became anxious and, later in the evening, the children were reported to the police as missing.
