MAORI GIRL’S BRAVERY
SAVED SISTER’S LIFE Press Association GISBORNE, To-day. At the inquest at Te Karaka into the death of Joseph Wi Rangi, who died through burns received when a lamp overturned, the coroner, Mr. Levvey, gave warm praise to the little Maori girl, Lily Qtene. aged 10, for her remarkable presence of mind. The evidence showed that the girl followed the boy ’when he ran out of the house, £tfid extinguished the flames by wrapping him in a rug. She then returned to the house, and with some water quenched the fire, thereby probably saving the life of her sister, who was- asleep.
