RUNAWAY EMIGRANTS.
THREE ADVENTUROUS BOYS. A. and N.Z. LONDON, Feb. 25. Two 16-year-old Nuneaton lads, undeterred by Labour members' •denunciations of boy migration, sold their bicycles and took a train for London a week ago. Their whereabouts are still a mystery, but one of them sent a letter to his father, Colonel Harris, telling him that the two were emigrating to Australia. They are described as adventurous boys of good class. They are believed ti* have been seen near the Commercial Docks. The colonel has been scouring London in a vain attempt to find them. A third boy from Rugby has apparently joined the other two, as three lads answering to their description visited a Bermondsey shop and inquired about ships leaving for Australia.
