Boats put off immediately, but. a strong" flood tide being running, and the night being pitch dark, the search proved unavailing, and his body was not recovered until this morning.

A member of the Native Contingent Armed Constabulary has been lost in Oripi Bush. He went out pig hunting eight days ago, and has not returned. Search parties have been out , without finding traces.
