E., of Tsung Fa, China, and Dunedin, New Zealand. For five years during the war, Nurse James, who worked foi the New Zealand Presbyterian Mission, did not speak one word of English. She tended Chinese guerrillas in the firing line and was the only nurse in the New Zealand hospital whom the Japanese did not intern. - Nurse James arrived in Sydney by air from Hong Kong,- and is leaving for New Zealand, shortly.
