A correpsondent learned on the arrival of the troopship Orari to-day, that the news published this morning of a New Zealander soldier being found stabbed was the Becond case of its kind in Egypt since our trjops landed. On Tuesday, November 15th, a New Zealander, name unknown, was found in a house in a low quarter of Alexandria with hij throat cut. The day before the Ornri loft one of a group of New Zealanders who had been "celebrating" aßhore foolishly lifted a Turkish woman's yashmak. Hur native husband watched the culprit until dark, and on the way to camp attacked him with a knife. In the brawl the New Zealander was stabbed in the chest and died immediately. It i>j understood that he belonged to Christchurch, but hia name is not known to the Orari'a officers. AUSTRALIAN SUFFERS SAME FATE. Christchurch, Tuesday. Brief reference is made m a letter from a Christchurch member of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, now in Egypt, to a tragic occurrence, as a result of which apparently a member of the Australian portion of the force met hia death. Extracts from a letter dealing with the matter areas follows:—"Some of our fellows have been most indiscreet. One of them tore the veil off a Turkish woman's face, and paid the penalty. He was found in the streets of Cairo with hiß throat cut."
