Sister Meijer, returning with food, met the party coming down a ravine. She administered morphine to the patient. About a mile from the road the first of the Hutt Tramping Club members arrived and by the time the road was reached about 20 men were assisting. The patient was taken to the Hutt Hospital, where he was operated on. Mr Lahman said that he couldn't pay too high a tribute to Mrs Meijer, “She was simply terrific.” Sister Meijer, described by the Hutt Police as a ‘Flōrence Nightingale’, later said that although she had attended people injured in Rimutaka road accidents this was her “first real big bush job”.
