PARTY CUT OFF FROM HELP.
SNOWBOUND IN TASMANIA.
(TOITBD PKEBS ASSOCIATIOK —BY XUCTBIC TEUSCIHAPH—COPTRIGHT.) HOBAKT, July 13. The plight of a party of men, who are short of food and are cut off from help by deep snow at the northern end of Great Lake, is becoming serious. A telephone message stated that the snow is four feet deep in places and it is still snowing. The party are digging their way through at the rate of a mile daily, and hope to meet a party proceeding in like manner from Deloraine. Attempts to reach the men by car and launch were useless. The lake is frozen from end to end. A rescue party is leaving Deloraine to-day. Great Lake measures 14 miles at its greatest width and is 18 miles long.— Australian Press Association.
