BACK FROM CHINA
TWO NEW ZEALAND NURSES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Miss V. Bargrove, Matron of the Church Missionary Society in Hangchow, and Miss E. Parkinson, of the Shanghai Municipal Hospital Service, arrived by the Wanganella. Miss Bargrove became ill in China and travelled from there on a stretcher, accompanied by Miss Parkinson. She goes to the Wellington Hospital for a while and then will stay with relatives at Otaki.
Miss Parkinson goes to relations in Christchurch. Both were trained as nurses in the Christchurch Hospital. Miss Bargrove has been for fifteen years in Hangchow and Miss Parkinson for three years in Shanghai. Both have had a full share of the increase in hospital work as a result of the SinoJapanese conflict, with its attendant problems of refugees, cholera and typhoid.
