DEAD MAN IN DREAM
STRANGE STORY FROM KAWHIA DROWNINGb RECALLED A strange story ot Maori belief in the supernatural comes from Kawhia. It concerns the fishing fatality off Kawhia in January last year, when three men—Messrs John Riddell, C. Maikuku, and Ru Bay were drowned when a surf boat was swamped. The Maori story communicated to The Sun by a European resident, is that a skeleton, believed to be that of Ru Bay, has been discovered by visions in the dreams ot a relative. The men were drowned off the beach at the Hari Hari Estate, and toward the end ot last year according to the account, a relative of Ru Bay dreamt that he was directed by the dead man to a certain part of the coast. On the following day, clothing is said to have been found. The clothes were thrown into the sea. Recently the relative again saw the locality in a dream, and on the following day a skeleton was found on the beach. The place where the clothes and the skeleton were found is a depression on the beach, in which the current sets. A considerable amount ot flotsam collects there.
