BRAVE SONS OF WESTLAND.
(To the Editor.) ! Sir — Is it possible that our parents ! can allow Mr Seddon to wantonly insult ] our young men as he did at Rimu. Does he not remember the Brunner disaster, did not our young men come to the front, aud work for their bare lives for those pue* fellows that were buried there. Sir, I say they worked as Britons as thenfathers have done before them, many nearly sacrificed their own lives, and were brought out of the pit unconscious in j .their heroic ende-ivors to save those who [ were entombed. They needed no sto^k- \ whip. Indeed there were more volunteers than were required for the sad work to be done. Again T say they were worthy I sons of the pioneer miners of the sixties. I I am, &o , A Pkuud Parent. | ____„ ________ '
