A WIFE'S DEVOTION.
PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION. ROTORUA, Jan. 2s.

His wife became anxious, and set out to make inquiry. Sim searched all night over rough scoria fun-owed by mountain storm-water, chasms and yawning crevasses which men are almost afraid to cross in the daytime. Eventually she found her husband buried to the hips in an earth fall. Having evidently been stunned by a boulder and unable to move all day, he had probably died through exposure to the terrible heat. His wife then ran for three miles for assistance. Deceased was aged 32 anil was the son of the late Mr Joseph Heberley, formerly harbormaster at Nelson.
