A STARTLING DISCOVERY.
BABY ABANDONED IN TRAIN.
Cries from-a dress-basket in the Henderson railway station (says the Auckland Star) on Sunday morning led to the discovery by the acling-stationmaster of a young infant. The dress-basket was found under a seat in a passenger carriage’by a guard on the arrival of the
passenger train at Henderson at 5.10 p.m. on Saturday. The basket was listed “lost luggage,” and placed in the department. There it remained until the little one screamed, and the startling ■ discovery was made. In an almost suffocated condition the infant was handed over to the earevof Mrs Curtis, a nurse at Henderson, who tended the little one, and in whose charge it remained. Finned to the garments in which the “little unwanted” was clothed was a piece of paper on which was written,•"Catherine Vale, Church of England, Rotorua." A bottle of milk accompanied the little mite.
