LOST ON MOUNTAIN.
CLIMBER FINDS HIS WAY ! THROUGH DENSE BUSH. (press association txlzqrau.) STRATFORD. July 12. Losing the track on his way to north Mount Egmont from the Stratford Mountain House, a young man named Webster, a railway porter of Onehunga, struck through the bush for the open country below him yesterday, and eventually arrived at Midhirst. , His non-arrival at north Mount Egmont caused, fears for his safety, and search parties were summoned from New Plymouth and Stratford. Mr A. Haldane, caretaker at the Stratford Mountain House, learned of his arrival at Midhirst in time to stop the parties before they left for the mountain. Webster was lucky in finding his way through the dense bush, for had he been lost all night the intense cold probably would have killed him.
