This footage shows some of my family's whanau, the young girl that was taken by stretcher to the boat and then on to Rawene Hospital is my cousins Aunty (her Dad's younger sister) unfortunately that young girl passed away and we are not sure if it was after this appendicitis or a little while later by tuberculosis as she was not much older than the age she is in this footage. Thank you NZOS as this is very special for my whanau from the Hokianga. Their whanau name is Boyce/Scott.
