LONG WALK IN SLEEP
WELLINGTON GIRL’S EXPLQIT. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, September 9. An extraordinary somnambulistic feat was accomplished by Olive Warwick, aged 14 years, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Stanley Warwick, of Willis Street. Mr Warwick returned from Christchurch at 7 a.m. on Thursday morning to find the front door of his flat open and his daughter missing. Mrs Warwick was unable to account for their daughter’s disappearance at so early an hour. A police search proved fruitless. At 8.15 a.m. Olive returned fully dressed, having awakened several miles away in the Nghauranga Gorge. In her sleep, she had dressed, taken her own money in a hand purse, several handkerchiefs, and other articles. Realising her position on awakening, she walked down the Gorge to the Ngahauranga station, and returned to the city by train. After breakfast, and a long sleep she awoke none the worse for her extraordinarily adventurous sleep walk of several miles.
