TWO YOUNG ORPHANS

TRAVEL ALONE FROM CANADA. TO LIVE IN WELLINGTON. AUCKLAND, Sept, 5. Two young orphans, Frederick Wriglev, aged 12, and his sister Lilian, aged 11, arrived at Auckland by the Niagara, having travelled unaccompanied from Toronto to join relatives in Wellington. They were met on arrival by their uncle, Sir. T. Griffen, of Wellington, and although he had never seen them before, they recognised him from photographs and shouted greetings for several minutes before the Niagara berthed. Both children were born in Canada, Their father died several years gao, and their mother, who was Mr. Griffen’s sister, comparatively recently. Mr. and Mrs. Wrigley had both gones to Canada from England, and the children were left without relatives in Canada. Accordingly, arrangements were made for them to join Mr Griffen in Wellington, and they undertook their four weeks’ journey with considerable excitement hut not the slightest trepidation. During the trip of the Niagara the children were under the special care of one of the stewardesses, Miss Her"""ihey are fine children,” she said, “and did not cause me a moment’s worn*.”— “Dominion” Service.
