DEAD AND INJURED

Lists Still Tragically Incomplete APPALLING MORTALITY FEARED Casualty lists still remain tragically incomplete. The dead in Hastings are authoritatively .estimated to be be- . tween 80 and 100, but the mortality in Napier cannot even be calculated. The opinion is freely expressed, however, that the deaths will run into hundreds and the injured to more than 1000. Until the debris is cleared, however, it is impossible to hazard more than a rough guess. The following are the official lists compiled by the police, and are mainly from the Hastings and country areas:—
