FOUND ON ISLAND
MISSING BOY.
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.
(Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, July 14,
David Skoekhe Wilson, a 17 years old Lyttelton youth who had been missing since Monday and was believed to be drowned, was found this afternoon on Quail Island, the former quarantine and leper station near the head of the harbour. It seems that he landed on the island on Monday night, placing his clothes in a dinghy which either became adrift or was carried out by the tide. He had taken possession of the house in the temporary absence of the lessee of the island and was found by the police hiding in a cupboard. The' boy, who appeared to be suffering from hallucinations, was removed to the Christcburch Hospital.
