NEW ZEALANDERS ABROAD.
Mr and Mrs Henry Wiifen, of Hawke's Bay, according to a London correspondent, who have been spending the past two years in travel, intended leaving London on the 2nd inst. by the Oroya, homeward bound. Mr Wift'en is one of the oldest settlers in the Hawke's Bay district. He went there with his wife forty years ago, and had lived there ever since. Last year, having acquired a competence, he retired from active business, and with Mrs Wiffen set out to tour the world, and to re-visit the scenes of their youth. They travelled via San Francisco, and, after spending four months in the United States, landed in England in August of last year. Since then they have been visiting old friends in various parts of the kingdom, and on August 10th they celebrated their golden wedding at Blandford, the little Dorsetshire town where they were married in 1856. Mr and Mrs Wiffen intend to visit Egypt and Palestine, on their way back to New Zealand, and expect to arrive home about the end of the year.
