Tragedy and a noble deed are wrapped up in a miniature flag which has been presented to the Christehurch Museum. It is a New Zealand ensign with the Union Jack and the Southern Cross, and it measures only two inches by three. Despite its size, it will prove a' source of interest for many a year to come. Briefly, it has been to the South Pole, and a dead man kept his promise. When Dr. Wilson, one of Captain Scott's ill-fated Polar party, left Lyttelton some two years ago for the Antarctic regions. Miss' Anne W. Hardy, of Rakaia, placed in his hands a miniature flag of New Zealand, with the request that if Dr. Wilson formed one of the Polar party he-would take the little flag with him. This Dr. Wilson did, and the flag was found on his dead body when discovered. It was brought- back by the relief party, and returned to Miss Hardy by Mrs. Wilson, the dead explorer's wife, and by Miss Hardy presented to the museum. —Christehurch Press.
