MISS ALICE KARETAI The death of a well-known South Island Maori personality, 95 years old Miss Alice Karetai, occurred recently. Miss Karetai lived at Harrington Point, inside the Otago Harbour heads. Miss Karetai had a direct connection with a shipwreck which occurred in the early days of the colonisation of Otago. In 1861 the inter-colonial Royal Mail Packet Company's steamer Victory was beached on the Otago heads. The Maori people assisted the immigrants and crew over the hill to their own settlement and generally aided them in their plight. The captain of the steamer, Mr James Toogood, stayed with the Karetai family following that incident, and it was he who suggested that Miss Karetai be called Alice after Queen Victoria's daughter.
