Tahuna.
The epidemic is now well in hand, and patients are being discharged from the hospital. It is anticipated that by Wednesday only a dozen patients will remain, and none of these cases are serious. The representatives of St. John's Ambulance, Messrs Wilson and Mackay, left Tahuna today to return to their homes. Three more deaths occurred on Saturday, two of Kohinaki's children passing away and Moses, the eldest son of Ngairi. Kohinaki has lost his wife and four children. As Huranui, the Maori patient who became mentally deranged last week, showed no signs of improvement Constable O'Brien, of Morrinsville, was communicated with on Saturday. As a result accompianed by Mr F. 0. Warner he motored out to Tahuna and brought the Native in. On the certificates of Drs Seville and Walls Huranui was committed to the Avondale Asylum.
