THE BLUEJACKETS . —■ ■» — ■ — SPLENDID WORKERS NO PRAISE TOO HIGH (By "The Post's" Special Reporter.) NAPIER," sth Fe-burary. ■No ._.••■-_,-■? is too high for the men of tho Veronica, Diomede, and Duncdin, and the two merchant ships Northumberland and Taranaki. To them fell the heaviest work and the most ghastly work. The naval nien arc still at it, seemingly they are tireless. Their search of the ruined shopping streets is still far from complete, and interiors have scarcely been gone over at all. Nothing can safely be done until main and division walls are brought down, and consequently a vast amount of rubble and the brickwork will have to be. shifted before the real work can commence. Except in a few larger buildings it is probable, however, that everyone got to the doorwaysi before the final terrific jolt of the earthquake brought walls crashing clown. The search of the nurses' homo is by no means complete, and so also is that of the Technical School. Even to-day no one is willing to name a figure as to the total number of the dead—the general opinion is that between 200 and 300 perished. REMARKABLE ESCAPES ♦ (By "The Post's" Special Reporter.) NAPIER, sth February. Stories of escapes are many, but none is more remarkable than that of over a hundred girls working iii Usher's tobacco factory. The front wall: fell outwards, and the girls rushed over the debris to the street. Immediately afterwards tho roof crashed down, but all were clear except one gir], who was pinned down and suffered a broken leg. A motorist was leaving his garage when a brick building on the opposite side of the street collapsed on the roadway. At a roar behind him he instinctively shot the car forward up the pile of rubble. The fall from behind trapped his car, but he was uninjured. Thero were several cases of people being thrown clear, of buildings when walls burst outwards, and who escaped injury. >, METEOROLOGICAL WELLINGTON'S WEATHER MOON FOR FEBRUARY. .Full Moon, 3rd day, 11.56' a.m.; Last Quarter. 10th day, 3.40 a.m.; New Moon, ISth day, 12.41 a.m.; .First Quarter, . 27th day, 11.36 a.m. The aboTo times are bltbd In standard time, not summer time.
