With tho aid of eight other patriotic people, the sum of £45 4s was contributed in less than an hour, and tho same afternoon that amount was cabled through the Bank of New Zealand to tho Daily Mail, London, which undertakes tho distribution of food to our imprisoned men, and is able to that they get it.
