SEARCH FOR REMAINS
IDENTIFICATION DIFFICULT
("Post" Special Reporter.) NAPIER, This Day. The search for human remains is now being carried into the interior of burned-out premises, but it is exceed? ingly difficult work, as little more than calcined bon^s and sometimes only i ashes aro found. The police are using every possible endeavour to identify such remains, and-the,spots where they are found axe minutely examined for personal articles, such as watches, keys, or jewellery. In one or two instances papers and documents were.'found to bo still legible, though of their owners practically nothing remained. In many cases the identification of, remains found from now on will be impossible. The search1 in the ruins of ■tlie nurses' home is still being continued, but so frightful was the Wreck in this building, that only the outer portions of the ruin have so far been examined. '•."■'.
