LOST IN SNOW.
PARTY IN DANGER
Isolated And Short Of Food
On Lake Shore.
RESCUERS' SLOW PROGRESS
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association,
(Received 11 a.m.)
HOBART, this day.
The plight of a party of men, short of food and with deep snow cutting them off at the northern end of, the Great Lake, is becoming serious. A telephone message stated that the snow was four feet deep in places and that it was still snowing.
The party were digging their way through at the rate of a mile daily and hoped to meet a party proceeding in a like manner from De Loraine.
Attempts to reach the men by car and launch are useless as the lake is frozen from end to end.
A rescue party is leaving De Loraine to-day. The Great Lake is fourteen miles at its greatest width and eighteen miles long.
