LUCK OF TWINS
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association) AUCKLAND, March 10. The proverbial “luck of twins” is illustrated in the ease of three pairs of twins, all of whom are related, who are Staying at the Auckland City Mission’s camp for families of Napier refugees at Surfdale. One pair of the twins, Noel and Xoeline, aged 11 months, were inside a house when the earthquake occurred. Noel was thrown by his mother out of a window, landing on a garden unhurt, while Noeline was carried to safety. Another pair, Jack and Jill, aged nine months, were in separate prams on a verandah of another house in Napier, Jack’s pram, was thrown off the verandah and capsized, the child escaping without injury. The other pram, after being buffeted to and fro, remained on the verandah, which was the only portion of the residence left standing. The third pair, two girls, aged 14 years, were in a suburb of Napier and were also uninjured.
