On Friday and Saturday Carter failed to appear at the house of Mr. R. J. Flett, a neighbour from whom he used to get milk. On Saturday Mr. Flett visited Carter's house, thinking he might be ill.

Mr Carter appeared in good health when last seen on Friday morning. Nothing was known of his relatives, but it was learned through IYA broadcasting station, with which Mr. L. T, Buxton postmaster at Waimauku, got into' touch, that they were in Wellington.
