LONELY BOY
LOOKING FOR HIS PARENTS Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright MELBOURNE, April 9. (Received April 9, at 12.30 p.m.) Gordon Beehre, aged 10, of Auckland, who travelled alone on the Wangauella from New Zealand, has been asking for his mother for two days. He expected his parents to be on the wharf to meet him, bpt so far, in spite of assistance by the Travellers’ Aid Society and the police of two States, they have not been traced. Gordon’s parents left him in charge of an aunt in New Zealand 18 months ago, when they came to Australia. The only clue to their present whereabouts is a letter addressed to “ Mrs Beehre, Melbourne,” which Gordon brought with him. The letter revealed that Mrs Beehre had been receiving mails at the General Post Office. Inquiries there resulted in the discovery of an unclaimed cablegram from Gordon’s aunt stating that he had left New Zealand.
