YOUTHFUL EMIGRANT
ARRIVAL FROM ESTONIA REUNION WITH FATHER (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Dec. 16. After travelling all the way from Estonia to New Zealand by himself, Erwin Lutherus, who arrived by the Rangitane to-day, probably had an interesting story to tell of his youthful impressions of the southern half of the world, but he presented an insuperable difficulty .to interviewers, his knowledge of English being limited to one sentence: "I do not speak English." Lutherus, who is described as a student, was met by his father, who had previously emigrated to this country. The father, too, was almost as limited in his means of expression in English as his son, but the mutual pleasure of the pair in being united again was evident. "He will stay here for ever now. He will have to go school again," said the father when questioned about his son's immediate future.
