WHALLEY MAN. NAMES LITTLE “MISS NOBODY”


“T 1TTLE Miss Nobody”, the rescued 12-year-old girl from Stanleyville, has been identified by a Whalley young man,


Mr. David Coggins, aged 23, who left the Congo just as the rebels took over four months ago. The little girl’s picture/ which was shown in the'national press and on television aroused interest and sympathy through­


out the entire country. Suffering ffprn shock she was unable to tell at first who


she really was and what had happened to her parents. Mr. Coggins is now home on leave at Riddings Farm,


Whalley. The story of the little girl in the Press told how she came


into Leopoldville among the rescued people. Her dress was torn and bloodstained, her face was smeared with blood and dirt and tears, her feet were bare and one was bandaged with a


grimy nig. Suffering from shock she was not able to give an accurate


account of what had happened to her in Stanleyville and who her parents were.
