The funeral of the two victims of the tragedy took place yesterday afternoon at St. Paul's Anglican Church, Flat Bush, Papatoetoe. A long cortege followed the two hearses, and many friends and relatives waited the arrival of the funeral at the cemeter3 r, which is situated in a beautiful part of tho district.
