A GRUESOME FIND
SKELETON (INEARTHED AT RONGOTAI.
Two corporation workmen, Louis O’h’egan and Herbert Jensen on digging away a mound of sand alongside the track leading to the Rongotai paving plant yesterday morning uncovered a human skeleton, which apparently had been there for many years. The skeleton appeared to be that of a matured person. The teeth were in an excellent state of preservation, and this has led to the assumption that the skeleton belonged to a Maori. The bones were removed to the morgue. It is understood that several similar discoveries were made in the locality some years ago.
