TWINS IN AMBULANCE
Born on the Way to City For a baby to be born in a ‘Wellington Free Ambulance car while the mother is being speeded to a maternity heme is not very much out of the way. The ambulance service lias four of these cases so far on its records. But when in a trip to the city from Eastbourne healthy twins are born, as happened in the early hours of yesterday morning, the service surely has something to declare an anniversary over. Following an apparent misunderstanding over assistance that bad been expected in the home, the Free Ambulance answered a late call to a house at Eastbourne at 3.30 a.m, During the journey to the city a boy was born at York Bay, and when the car arrived at Petone it was stopped again outside the home of Dr. J. T. Harding for the birth of the second twin, also a boy. Then, with as little delay as possible, the three patients were driven to a maternity home in the city, where they are all reported to be doing well.
