LINER RUSHES TO FREIGHTER
DOCTOR TRANSFERRED FOR OPERATION
[Pea UytTED Press Assocutioit ]
WELLINGTON, February 29. On February 14, when the Ruapehu was off Pitcairn Island, a radio from the freighter Westmoreland, which was a few hours behind the Ruapehu, asked medical assistance, one of the cadets (of whom the freighter carries several) being seriously ill with appendicitis. The Ruapehu’s doctor was incapacitated with a badly-sprained ankle, but the steamer put back eight and a-half hours to the Westmoreland, and a passenger, Dr Hudson, went aboard. He operated next morning, and was transferred back to the Ruapehu on the sixteenth.
Dr Hudson is returning to Nelson after studying at Home, where he was married.
