A WANGANUI FAMILY WHO SPENT A TRAGIC HOLIDAY IN CHINA.
The photo shows a well-known Chinese family. Ngan For, the owners of the largest vegetable garden in Wanganui, who left some months ago to spend a short holiday in their native land. Their home was about 14 miles from Cauton, and soon after their arrival, they were attacked at midnight by a band of 70 or 80 robbers. Mr For was shot in the leg, and the house was ransacked, the two boys being carried off captives, while Mrs. For was fatally wounded, dying in a few hours.
