The Taihape police said tonight that two search parties had been out on foot all day and were returning, without success, to a base camp late tonight. Another four-man party with supplies is camping out east of the Rangitikei river tonight. Snow was falling at Taihape up until about 9 o'clock tonight and throughout the day there was rain, hail and fog, said Detective-Sergeant B. N. Middleton.
