STILL NO WORD
HOPE GROWING SMALLER
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
! CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The task of rescuing. K. Loney and ,C. Robbinß, the missing trampers, is proving more difficult than was at first reckoned, and hope of finding the men alive is growing less hourly among the people waiting at the Bealey. Up till noon: to-day no word had been heard from the rescue party since it left the. Bealey yesterday morning. It is now well over twenty-four hours since they started. ' They have had ample time to have reached Carrington Hut and returned to the Bealey had they been able to locate the missing men. Probably they will have to -go deeper into the mountains.
No word has been received from the Mountaineering Club's party, which left 'the Bealey at; 6 o 'clock last night. It is believed they havo pushed on in the direction of Harmon's Pass. Over a score of searchers are engaged, and more will start to-day, including' a party of police from Greymouth, s ■ ,
It is feared that very little in the way of searching was done last night owing to the darkness.
