ISOLATION
SHIP GIVES ASSISTANCE FOR SICK WOMAN.
NAPIER, May Id
Keepers of the light on Portland Island early this morning attracted the attention by means of a morse lamp, of the steamer Kahika en route from Gisborne to Lyttelton in order to get assistance for the wife of the keeper Cancer who was seriously ill. At daylight Mrs Gaucer was taken off in a surf boat and brought by the Kahika to Napier for treatment.
The incident once more brings forward the need for some sort of communication between Portland Island and the mainland.
