GIRL STOLEN BY MAORIS
STORY OF CAROLINE PERRETT. FIFTY YEARS WITH THE NATIVES. A new light on the dramatic re-union inthe Perrett family with the child Caroline, or Sarah as she was called by the Natives, stolen by the Maoris over 50 years ago, was gleaned by a Daily News reporter in Hawera yesterday in conversation with Mr. W. J. Linkhorn, a Hawera business man, who lived in Rotorua and North Auckland before coining to Hawera several years ago. it was a remarkable story, said Mr. Linkhorn, especially to him, for he had first met Sarah Munga, as she was known, at Rotorua in 1902 and he had known her well in succeeding years before she had shifted to the Whakatane district. The Maoris had expressed ignorance as to the birthplace of Sarah.
