LATE, LATE NEWS This Afternoon
"At latest (report) the position is still worse, the wind having increased in violence. The fires are menacing quite a number of different points, the town being, more or less, surrounded by fires." W.C.C. Wednesday February 12 1908. More about these disastrous Raetihi fires which soon affected Ohakune, Horopito, Rangataua, Mang'aturoa, and many
other places throughout the Waimarino, in future editions of the Bulletin. We are pleased to report that Father Mailland's cottage which was reported ( above ) to be expected to "catch fire at any moment" was reported two days later to have once again miraculously survived the conflagration.
