TWO YOUNG ORPHANS

Travel Alone from Canada TO LIVE IN WELLINGTON Dominion Special Service. Auckland, September 5. Two young orphans, Frederick Wrigley, aged 12, and his sister Lillian, aged 11, arrived at Auckland by the Niagara, having travelled unaccompanied from Toronto to join relatives in Wellington. They were met on arrival by their uncle, Mr. T. Griffen, of Wellington. and although he had never seen them before, they recognised him from photographs and shouted greetings for several minutes before the Niagara berthed. Both children were born in Canada. Their father died several years ago, and their mother, who was Mr. Griffen’s sister, comparatively recently. Mr. and Mrs. Wrigley had both gone to Canada from England, and the children were left without relatives ■ in Canada. Accordingly, arrangements we"e made for them to join Mr. Griffen in Wellington, and they undertook their four weeks’ journey with considerable excitement but not the slightest trepidation. , _ .. During the trip of the Niagara the children were under the special care of one of the stewardesses. Miss Herring. ~ , ~ “They are fine children, she said, "and did not cause me a moment's worry.”
