HBH 1892 May 13 SUBRITZSKY J A Mr J.A.SUBRUTZSKY writes to an Auckland paper from AWANUI under date May 3rd: "Dear Sir,-On the last trip of the schooner Medora my son (the captain) saw the sea serpent between the Poor Knights and Cape Brett. The sketch enclosed is as near as he described it to me. The Medora was going with a fair wind and nearly ran over the serpent. They passed it within 12 feet, and the serpent lifted its head and part of its body out of the water, and turned round to have a good look at the vessel, but made no movement to attack her. >From the head to the striped part it was nearly black. The striped part of the tail was like that of an eel,, with a fin each side. As far as they could see, the tail part was almost the length of the Medora, so the serpent must have been about 90 feet long. You can depend upon this story being correct. My son did not want me to send this to the paper, as he says people will only say it is nonsense."

The majority of orders are buried at St. Patrick's Church Cemetery Panmure with the exception of the Mercy nuns who are buried at Waikumete. Hope this helps.

I would suggest she was a member of the Sisters of St. Joseph founded in Australia by the Blessed Mary MacKillop. They were colloquially known as the Brown Joeys. They are based in New Zealand at Mission Bay in Auckland.

HBH 1892 May 11 SHIPPING Arrival Port of Napier NO LISTED PASSENGERS inwards or outwards. Arrival 10th-Marmion-schooner from TIMARU. Master-agent. DEPARTURES-NIL Shipping Notes The whaling schooner Christine arrived at Auckland last Tuesday after a whaling cruise of four months. The cruise has been an unsuccessful one, only two whales having been taken. Several schools of sperm and right whales were come upon, but the weather was such as to render pursuit impossible. During the voyage the schooner lay-to for some time off Sunday Island, where the crew were hospitably entertained by Messrs BELL and CARVER. The latter is one of the band who left Hawke's Bay in quest of fortune among the sunny isles of the Pacific, and who still hangs on to Sunday Island. The ship's carpenter named DESGAGNE, who lives in one of the suburbs of QUEBEC, has caused some commotion there by an announcement recently made. He claims to have invented a hydraulic machine, which when fitted into a ship will drive the larges ocean-going vessel at the rate of from 45 to 60 miles an hour.

HBH 1892 May 11 HERDMAN On Monday afternoon, a little girl three years of age, daughter of Mr J. HERDMAN, of Nelson Street, Wellington, while standing at the door of her father's shop was attacked by a large Newfoundland dog belonging to another resident in the same street, and sustained considerable injuries. The savage animal tore the child's left ear nearly off, leaving it hanging by only a strip of flesh, made a deep cut in her left cheek, besides a scalp wound on the back of the head four inches in length, the dog's teeth also cutting into the bone and forming a regular groove. The little one was at once taken to Dr. MacCARTHY'S surgery, where her injuries were found To be as described above, and it was also found that an artery in the scalp had been severed. Chloroform was administered to the child, but as she was very weak cauterisation was not attempted. The wounds were all stitched up, and the ear stitched in its natural position. Dr MacCARTHY anticipates that though not out of danger she will make good progress towards recovery, and that the ear will heal up all right.

Hi Ray, My apologies. The address is: http://nznewspapers.wordpress.com/ I have also added another issue since last evening, it is: Te Aroha News - Saturday, 16 June, 1883 This issue has the most wonderful word that I had not come across before. It is in an entry about a jewellery robbery in Auckland... "burglariously". It contains a life lesson about twisting the tail of a horse in order to make it move, also from an incident in Auckland. The simple answer is don't.
