POVERTY BAY MASSACRE WAS DESPERATE AFFAIR.
SURVIVOR OF HAU-HAU RAID TELLS THE STORY.
When the Hau-haus perpetrated ■what has passed into history as the Poverty Bay massacre, just sixty years ago, they left for dead the wife of Captain Wilson. By a miracle one of her little boys who had escaped the massacre returned to the scene and found his mother desperately wounded but alive. That little boy, now Mr J. G. Wilson, of Christchurch, will tell the story of his experiences in the “ Star.” The first instalment will appear in next Saturday’s issue.
