PERSISTENT TRUANTS
RUNAWAY BOYS RETURN TO THEIR HOME. FEES 3 ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND. July 24. The three Onehunga boys named 01ney, aged 10, 12, and 14 years respectively, who were reported yesterday as having been missing from homo since Monday morning, have turned up at Whangaparoa, near Silverdale. Until about noon to-day the whereabouts of the boys was still unknown to their relatives or to the police at Onehunga, but a telegram then reached their father from an elder son, who is engaged in farming work at Whangaparoa, intimating that the boys had arrived there and would be brought home on Sunday. The probability is that they walked to Auckland, crossed the harbour on a ferry steamer to Bayswater or Devonport, and then walked out past Lake Takapnna to Whangaparoa, a distance of about 30 miles. Inquiries made by a reporter Onehunga this morning elicited the information that the runaway you‘.ns have been persistent truants for more tuan three months.
