“LOST” GIRL LOCATED
LEFT HOME FOR TERERE PA When she quarrelled with her mother on Sunday, October 26th. Daphne Haunui, a 15-year-old Maori girl, left her home at lluatuna, Ohiwa Harbour, and walked to Torero Pa, which is just outside the south-eastern boundary of Opotiki borough. When, the girl did not return to her home, her parents, unaware that she was staying at Terete pa notified the Opotiki police and Mr. Boris Black assisted them in organising a search. When the residents of Terere pa heard that the girl was supposed to be missing they immediately notified the police on Thursday of her whereabouts.
Under the circumstances it was considered not advisable to give publicity to the matter. Unfortunately the Gisborne correspondent of an Auckland newspaper forwarded stale and inacurate information to an. Auckland newspaper two days after the girl .was located and on Saturday a report was published that the girl had not been found. In yesterday’s issue of the same newspaper it was stated that the girl had been located at Terere pa “several miles from Opotiki”. In fact the pa is only about three hundred yards from the borough boundary.
